Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Way back up in the country, back in the hills
Down in the hollows where the folks are real
Livin' with the crazies and the old wildcats
Sawed off shot guns and coon skin caps
That's where I'm from and I'm proud to say
I'm the country, and I like it that way
[Verse 2]
Everybody knows everybody
Everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation, no
Kick off your shoes, come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country, and we like it that way
[Verse 3]
All day long we work in the field
And bring it on home to a home cooked meal
We love you like Sunday, but treat you like Saturday night
When the beds get full we can sleep in the hay
Hey, we're from the country, and we like it that way
[Verse 4]
Everybody knows everybody
Everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation, no
Kick off your shoes, come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country and we like it that way
[Verse 5]
Everybody knows everybody
Everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation, no
Kick off your shoes, come on in (Come on in)
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country, we're from the country
We're from the country, and we like it that way
