country people

Singer: emerson drive

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
