What Country Is

There's a housefly swimmin' in my sweet tea

Hey darlin', pass another Kerr jar to me

Butter drippin' off a biscuit, baby, better take a bite

Cantaloupe thumps like it's finally ripe

Box fan on a lawn chair suckin' in swamp air

200 mile marker signs from nowhere

That's what country is

It ain't a rebel flag you bought at the mall

It's a hideaway bed in an old horse stall

Two kids gettin' caught stealin' a Boone's farm kiss

It ain't a John Deere cap that's never fell in the cotton

It's a Jimmy Rodgers song that was long forgotten

It's homemade peach ice cream on sun burnt lips

That's what country is

When the sun starts slippin' from the delta sky

And the last scarecrow tucks in for the night

Make a fire, throw a blanket on the sandy bank

'Bout an hour till we feel the first catfish yank

Barefoot cane pole wavin' at the riverboats

And when they're gone take a dip in the moon glow

That's what country is

It ain't a rebel flag you bought at the mall

It's a hideaway bed in an old horse stall

Two kids gettin' caught stealin' a Boone's farm kiss

It ain't a John Deere cap that's never fell in the cotton

It's a Jimmy Rodgers song that was long forgotten

It's homemade peach ice cream on sun burnt lips

That's what country is

It ain't a jacked up truck that's never seen a pasture

It's cars pullin' over for a no cab tractor

It's homemade peach ice cream on sun burnt lips

No, it can't be bought, it's somethin' you're born with

That's what country is

That's what country is

That's what country is

That's what country is
