Country Ain't

Country is a long day, overtime by Thursday

Working hard to save up, got three little girls at home

Saying that you'll make it, but all night long you're praying

Stack of bills that need paying, thanking God that old truck runs

Country ain't about your southern roots

It's how your mama raised you up, it ain't something to prove

Country ain't about the chords you play

More about the blood running through your veins

Ain't about that hometown big or small

More about those babies sleeping in the bedroom down the hall

When all the music fades away, there's just some things that country ain't

Country is a handshake, showing up and staying late

Don't matter how much your friends make, take that two a.m. phone call

Country ain't about your southern drawl

It's saying what needs saying and owning when you're wrong

Country ain't about the chords you play

More about the blood running through your veins

Ain't about that hometown big or small

More about that front porch picking, singing daddy's favorite song

When all the music fades away, there's just some things that country ain't
