Country People

If you wonder why I walk this way, why I talk this way

Why I never trade my truck back in

Why I cover up my farmers tan

Why I get my coffee where I get my tractor parts

Know what to do when the truck won't start

Dog in the back, tip of a hat

No, it ain't an act

I come from country people, yeah

No need to hate me

I'm a direct descendent of some dust bowel babies

Little salt of the earth mixed with sunshine and diesel, yeah

Thank God I came from country people

We're boots in the dirt

We're dots on a map

We're denim blue, tried and true

Damn good country people

My piece of heaven is a piece of land

A shake of a hand is all you really need to get somethin' bought

When you pay cash like your daddy taught

Why a good time is a good girl

On a slow drive and moonshine beer in a can

I'm a simple man, I am the way I am

'Cause I come from

Country people, yeah

No need to hate me

I'm a direct descendent of some dust bowel babies

Little salt of the earth mixed with sunshine and diesel, yeah

Thank God I came from country people

We're boots in the dirt

We're dots on the map

We're denim blue, tried and true

Damn good country people

I come from country people, yeah

No need to hate me

I'm a direct descendent of some dust bowel babies

Little salt of the earth mixed with sunshine and diesel, yeah

Thank God I came from country people

We're beer in the air

We're chairs in the grass

Stayin' for as long as the firewood lasts

Yeah, we're boots in the dirt

We're dots on the map

We're denim blue, tried and true

Damn good country people

Thank God for country people

(My piece of heaven is a piece of land

A shake of a hand

Is really all you need to get somethin' bought)

Thank God for country people
