What Country's All About

It ain't about the dance

When a pretty girl's in your hands

Swayin' back and forth on a hardwood floor

Nah, it's a hell of a whole lot more

It wasn't 'bout the fish

When I was just a cane pole kid

Drownin' worms on a line by my granddaddy's side

Hell, we never even got a bite

But it ain't about the beer, it's what you drink to

Ain't about the road, it's where it leads to

It ain't about the buckle, it's the ride

It ain't about the smoke, it's the high

Ain't about the boots, it's the miles you put on 'em

Ain't about your roots, it's the ground where they're growin'

Don't take too long 'round here to figure out

What country's all about

It ain't about the flag

When you see me takin' off my hat

It's the women and the men who would do it all again

To keep it flyin' up there like that

Naw, it ain't about the beer, it's what you drink to

Ain't about the road, it's where it leads to

It ain't about the buckle, it's the ride

It ain't about the smoke, it's the high

Ain't about the boots, it's the miles you put on 'em

Ain't about your roots, it's the ground where they're growin'

Don't take too long 'round here to figure out

What country's all about

It ain't the small, it's the town

It ain't the game, it's the crowd

It ain't the church pew, it's the lost soul gettin' found

It ain't about the beer, it's what you drink to

Ain't about the road, it's where it leads to

It ain't about the buckle, it's the ride

It ain't about the smoke, it's the high

Ain't about the boots, it's the miles you put on 'em

Ain't about your roots, it's the ground where they're growin'

Don't take too long 'round here to figure out

What country's all about

Yeah, what country's all about
