what do you call when a good ole boy

takes his girl down by the river

country in your root

country to your boots

that's what it is

i call it country

what do you call

starts wearing through your old blue jewels

and when you won't stop wearing your favorite dirty hat

country stone cold deep down homegrown

country in your roots

country to your boots

that's what it is

i call it country

what do you call when a guy like me

falls in love with a girl as sweet as apple pie

and pretty as rose in bloom

deep down homegrown

country in your roots

country to your boots

that's what it is

i call it country to the bone

country stone cold

deep down homegrown

country in your roots

country to your boots

that's what it is

i call it country

i call it country

i call it country

that's cou
