Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well they say that I'm too country

The way I look and sound

They wanna make me over

Just a little more uptown

Say I need to change my image

Now tell me what that means

Don't they know I've got country in my genes

[Verse 2]

I can't help the way I talk

I wouldn't change it if I could

Sophisticated ain't my style

But country fits me good

And I ain't ashamed for wearing

What's been handed down to em

Oh, Lord, I got country in my genes

[Verse 3]

I got country in my genes

Country in my blood

It goes back generations

It's something I'm proud of

It's something I was born with

What you get is what you see

I'm just a old hillbilly with a bluegrass song to sing

Oh, Lord, I got country in my genes

[Verse 4]

Now, if country's hit the big time

Me, I'm still the same

And I ain't above my raising

And I ain't about to change

And I wouldn't trade my Wranglers

For the finest gaberdine

Oh, Lord, I got country in my genes

[Verse 5]

I got country in my genes

Country in my blood

It goes back generations

It's something I'm proud of

It's something I was born with

What you get is what you see

I'm just a old hillbilly with a bluegrass song to sing

Oh, Lord, I got country in my genes

Oh, Lord, I got country in my genes
