In My Veins

Where I come from they're good at raisin'

Their hands on Sunday, drinks up high and a bunch of babies

Everybody knows everybody's business

Like who got drunk, who got fired, and who's been kissin'

18 years old, I hit the road, didn't plan on lookin' back

But you don't leave with roots that deep, no matter where you're at

It's in my blood, it's in my veins

The way I talk and the way I pray

If I close my eyes, I'm there right now

You can take the girl out of the country

But the country stays runnin' in my veins

Runnin' in my veins

For a little while, I can tone it down

But a couple drinks or a call from Mama brings it out

I'ma sucker for a romance, ooh, I love a southern man

Hold my door and hold my hand before he gets that kiss

It's in my blood, it's in my veins

The way I talk and the way I pray

If I close my eyes, I'm there right now

You can take the girl out of the country

But the country stays runnin' in my veins

Runnin' in my veins

You might see me in NYC or California

But you best believe my heart is always still in Georgia

It's in my blood, it's in my veins

The way I talk and the way I pray

If I close my eyes, I'm there right now

You can take the girl out of the country

But the country stays runnin' in my veins

Runnin' in my veins

It's runnin' in my veins

Oh, it's runnin' in my veins, baby

It's runnin' in my veins

Ooh, it's runnin' in my veins

Baby, it's runnin' in my veins
