if you wonder why i walk this way
why i talk this way
why i never trade my truck back in
why i cover up my barn with tin
why i get my coffee where i get my tractor parts
know what to do when the truck won't start
dog in the back
tip of a hat
no it ain't an act
i come from country people
no need to hate me
i'm a
direct descendant of some dust bowl babies
little
salt of the earth
mixed with
sunshine and diesel
yeah
thank god i came from country people
we're boots in the dirt
we're dots on a map
we're denim blue
tried and true
damn good country people
why my piece of heaven is a piece of land
the shake of a hand is really all you need
to get something bought
when you pay cash like your daddy taught
why a good time is a good girl
on a slow drive in a moonshine
beer in a can
i'm a simple man
i am the way i am
'cause i come from country people
no need to hate me
i'm a
direct descendant of some dust bowl babies
little
salt of the earth
mixed with
sunshine and diesel
yeah
thank god i came from country people
we're boots in the dirt
we're dots on a map
we're denim blue
tried and true
damn good country people
i come from country people
yeah
no need to hate me
i'm a
direct descendant of some dust bowl babies
little
salt of the earth
mixed with
sunshine and diesel
yeah
thank god i came from country people
we're beer in the air
we're chairs in the grass
staying for as long
as a fire would last
yeah we're boots in the dirt
we're dots on a map
we're denim blue
tried and true
damn good country people
thank god for country people
(why my piece of heaven is a piece of land
the shake of a hand is really all you need
to get something bought)
thank god for country people
