Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I grew up 48506
Way up north and in the sticks
With my grandpa's tractor in the backyard
Runnin' people wild and free
Through the field and through the creeks
Where God's good people like to work hard
[Verse 2]
My roots run deeper than these woods
Where grass is green and life is good
Don't need no help to bait a hook
I can do it myself
[Verse 3]
If that ain't country I don't know what is
Been bumpin' Johnny Cash since I was a little kid
Swung a lot of rope swings out in the sun, hey
Livin' on fun when there wasn't no money
Drinkin' sweet tea with some lemon on the side
Mama screamin' out the screen door, "Come on inside"
A pan of fried chicken, dip it in the honey
Come on, tell me y'all if that ain't country
[Verse 4]
I don't know what is, I don't know what is
I don't know what, I don't know what is
Play hide and seek in the corn and we dance when it pours
Buildin' forts way up high in the maple trees
Bow our heads when we pray, yeah, Spam is when we say
Sowin' bandanas, patchin' up our holey jeans
[Verse 5]
I paint my nails but it comes off
From jumpin' cliffs and skippin' rocks
The moon is bright, let's catch some frogs
Y'all
[Verse 6]
If that ain't country I don't know what is
Been bumpin' Johnny Cash since I was a little kid
Swung a lot of rope swings out in the sun, hey
Livin' on fun when there wasn't no money
Drinkin' sweet tea with some lemon on the side
Mama screamin' out the screen door, "Come on inside"
A pan of fried chicken, dip it in the honey
Come on, tell me y'all if that ain't country
[Verse 7]
I don't know what is, I don't know what is
I don't know what, I don't know what is
[Verse 8]
There's a pink camo heart underneath this Maybelline
Come on, raise your hands up if you were raised just like me
In a big little house with a white picket fence
Underneath blue skies
Yeah, ain't that America?
[Verse 9]
If that ain't country I don't know what is
Been bumpin' Johnny Cash since I was a little kid
Swung a lot of rope swings out in the sun, hey
Livin' on fun when there wasn't no money
Drinkin' sweet tea with some lemon on the side
Mama screamin' out the screen door, "Come on inside"
A pan of fried chicken, dip it in the honey
Come on, tell me y'all if that ain't country
[Verse 10]
I don't know what is, I don't know what is
I don't know what, I don't know what is
I don't know what is, I don't know what is
I don't know what, I don't know what is
I don't know what is, I don't know what is
I don't know what, I don't know what is
