I grew up on Merle Haggard, ZZ Top and CDB
|
And if that Freebird wasn't soarin
|
Y'all would have never heard of me
|
Turn up Bocephus on the radio
|
Marshall Tucker now can't you see
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You can take me out the country
|
But you'll never take the country out of me
|
|
Can't go a day without Waylon Jennings
|
And the red haired stranger's on mind
|
Johnny Cash and Jimmy Rogers
|
JJ Cale and old John Prine
|
My Sweet Melissa keeps on callin'
|
Take a load off Annalee
|
|
I ain't never been to Heaven
|
But I hear it's just the same as Tennessee
|
|
[Solo]
|
|
Now my face might seem familiar
|
You see me smiling on T.V.
|
They might take me out to L.A.
|
But They'll never take sweet Dixieland from me
|
They might take me out the country
|
But They'll never take the country out of me
|
If you didn't know that I was country
|
Alabama's always home to me
|
