country thang

Bring it on to me.

We re backwoods Dixie, flat woods pickin ,
Shotgun wavin , long-neck drinkin ,
Huntin and a-fishin , workin and a-wishin for the weekend.

We say: Yes Ma am, No Ma am, Sir, can a lend a hand?
Take a stand for somethin we believe in.
Love an pray and do anythin for a good friend.

We like camp fires burnin , buttermilk churnin ,
Old folks, dirt roads windin and a-turnin ,
To a muddy creek; jumpin from a tall tree into the deep end.

That s a country thang.
People who don t live it just might think we ve gone insane.
But though the folks down home, we can stand right up and say:
It s a country thang.

We like moonlight sippin , late skinny-dippin .
Flat rock skippin , catfish hittin .
Sittin on a creek-bank, sun s up but we ain t leavin .

We like country twang and good southern rockin ,
Fun in the sun on the bass boat dockin .
Home made wine an a mess of fish pie an then a hot jam.

Got Gran mas, gran pas, newborn young uns;
Double wide homes an double first cousins.
An old town square an a county fair: it s a good plan.

It s a country thang.
People who don t live it just might think we ve gone insane.
But though the folks down home, we can stand right up and say:
It s a country thang.

It s a country thang.
People who don t live it just might think we ve gone insane.
But though the folks back home, we can stand right up and say:
It s a country thang.
It s a country thang.
It s a country thang.

That s right!
