That Ain't Country

Heard a preacher man say we were living in the end of times

And a weather man said it was too late to make it right

I've got folks online throwing shade my way, I wanna block it all out

But it's getting harder

And harder these days

Yeah, they say I dress too flashy, say I talk too fast

That nothing raised by god gon' look like that

Well, they can talk their shit and I might let it roll

But if they tell it to my momma, she gon' tell 'em where to go

That ain't country

No, we don't do it that way

The people in the town where I was raised

They love me and they got my back

So it's them you gotta face if you talk like that

Tell 'em that ya hate the boy that they made

In southern Kentucky

If that ain't country, mm-hmm

Ah, if that ain't country

You see, no amount of hate's gonna change the way I grew up

Raised on loving my neighbor no matter what

The gates that you're keeping, you call that freedom?

That ain't the hospitality that I believe in

You tell me I can leave then?

But that ain't country

No, we don't do it that way

The people in the town where I was raised

They love me and they got my back

So it's them you gotta face if you talk like that

Tell 'em that ya hate the boy that they made

In southern Kentucky

If that ain't country

If that ain't country

Oh

If that ain't country

Ain't who you take to bed, ain't in that small town draw

Yeah, it's in what you're saying, not the way you talk

Might have a jacked up truck, might have some worn in boots

But the heart of the south is deeper than dogwood roots

That ain't country

We don't do it that way

The people in the town where I was raised

Well, they love me and they got my back

So it's them you gotta face if you talk like that

Tell 'em that ya hate the boy that they made

In Russellville, Kentucky

If that ain't country, yeah

Aw, If that ain't country

Yeah, ooh, ooh
