| I was setting up for a gig
|
| In this little country bar
|
| This old boy in the corner watched me
|
| Tune up my guitar
|
| He said, ?What kinda music do you play hoss?
|
| I play some myself?
|
| He said, ?I sure hope it? |
| s country
|
| These days it? |
| s hard for me to tell?
|
| You can talk to me about tractors
|
| Cowboy boots and pickup trucks
|
| Ol? |
| cane poles and dirt roads
|
| And spittin? |
| Skoal in a Dixie cup
|
| You can tell me about your Grandpa
|
| And how he turned you onto Hank
|
| If you gotta tell me how country you are
|
| You probably ain? |
| t
|
| He said, Country is a way of life
|
| That? |
| s almost gone
|
| It? |
| s more than the clothes you wear
|
| Or how you sing a song
|
| It? |
| s about being honest
|
| And working hard
|
| Looking someone in the eye
|
| Being who you say you are
|
| You can talk to me about tractors
|
| Cowboy boots and pickup trucks
|
| Ol? |
| cane poles and dirt roads
|
| And spittin? |
| Skoal in a Dixie cup
|
| You can tell me all about your Grandpa
|
| And how he turned you onto Hank
|
| If you gotta tell me how country you are
|
| You probably ain? |
| t
|
| You can tell me all about your Grandpa
|
| And how he turned you onto Hank
|
| But if you gotta tell me how country you are
|
| You probably ain? |
| t
|
| If you gotta tell me how country you are
|
| You know what, you probably ain? |
