Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know you see me

Like some wide-eyed dreamer

That just rolled in

Off a dusty midwest bus

Yeah, on the outside

I look fragile

But on the inside is somethin' you can't crush

[Verse 2]

'Cause I'm country strong

Hard to break

Like the ground I grew up on

You may fool me

And I'll fall

But I won't stay down long

'Cause I'm country strong

[Verse 3]

I have weathered

Colder winters

Longer summers

Without a drop of rain

Push me in a corner

And I'll come out fightin'

I may lose

But I'll always keep my faith

[Verse 4]

'Cause I'm country strong

Hard to break

Like the ground I grew up on

You may fool me

And I'll fall

But I won't stay down long

'Cause I'm country strong

[Verse 5]

'Cause I'm country strong

Hard to break

Like the ground I grew up on

You may fool me

And I'll fall

But I won't stay down long

[Verse 6]

'Cause I'm country strong

Hard to break

Like the ground I grew up on

You may fool me

And I'll fall

But I won't stay down long

'Cause I'm country strong, yeah

[Verse 7]

I'm country strong

Yeah, I'm country strong

I'm country strong

I'm country strong

I'm country strong, whoa
