Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say you love me and it's invitin'
To go where life is more excitin'
But I was raised on country sunshine
[Verse 2]
I was raised on country sunshine
Green grass beneath my feet
Runnin' through fields of daisies
Wadin' through the creek
[Verse 3]
You love me and it's invitin'
To go where life is more excitin'
I was raised on country sunshine
[Verse 4]
I was raised on country sunshine
I'm happy with the simple things
A Saturday night dance, a picture show
And the joy that the bluebird brings
[Verse 5]
I love you, please believe me
I wouldn't want you to ever leave me
But I was raised on country sunshine
[Verse 6]
There's just somethin' 'bout the mornin'
That makes each day a joy to see
Nighttime brings a peaceful feelin'
To rest inside of me
[Verse 7]
I love you, please believe me
I wouldn't want you to ever leave me
But I was raised on country sunshine
[Verse 8]
Yes, you love me and it's invitin'
To go where life is more excitin'
But I was raised on country sunshine
I was raised on country sunshine
Oh, I was raised on country sunshine
