| Well, they say that I’m too country
|
| The way I look and sound
|
| They wanna to make me over
|
| Just a little more uptown
|
| Say I need to change my image
|
| Now tell me what’s that mean?
|
| Don’t they know I’ve got country in my genes?
|
| Well, I can’t help the way I talk
|
| I wouldn’t change it if I could
|
| Sophisticated ain’t my style
|
| But country fits me good
|
| I ain’t ashamed to wear
|
| What’s been handed down to me
|
| Lord, I’ve got country in my genes
|
| I’ve got country in my genes
|
| Country in my blood
|
| It goes back generations
|
| It’s something I’m proud of
|
| It’s something I was born with
|
| What you get is what you see
|
| I’m just an old hillbilly
|
| With a country song to sing
|
| Lord, I’ve got country in my genes
|
| Oh, that Earl Scruggs
|
| If country’s hit the big time
|
| Me I’m still the same
|
| I ain’t above my raising
|
| And I ain’t about to change
|
| I wouldn’t trade my Wranglers
|
| For the finest gabardine
|
| Lord, I’ve got country in my genes
|
| I’ve got country in my genes
|
| Country in my blood
|
| It goes back generations
|
| It’s something I’m proud of
|
| It’s something I was born with
|
| What you get is what you see
|
| I’m an old Kentucky hillbilly
|
| With a country song to sing
|
| Lord, I’ve got country in my genes
|
| Lord, I’ve got country in my genes |
