I'M COUNTRY - written and performed by Chris LeDoux
CWell, there's a little word that fits me to a Ftea.
GI don't know how you spell it, but it's ?country.C?
CWell, I laugh when I'm happy and I Fcry when I'm blue,
Gcuss when I'm mad like CI'm supposed to do.
COn a Saturday night I'll Fhave a drink or two
and Ghowl at the moon I'm Ccountry.
CWell, I chew tobacco and I Fspit it on the ground.
GI talk to the cows when Cno one ain't around.
CTrapped on the mountain when the Fsnow is falling down,
Gyes sir, boys, I'm Ccountry.
FI'm as country as a bronc on the western plain,
Cjust as wild and twice as hard to tame.
FAs high on living as the noonday sun.
CWell, I'll be country ?til the Gday I'm Cdone.
CCity folks think I'm Fcrude I guess.
GYou can tell I'm a hick by the Cway that I dress.
CBut that don't matter, I'm Fhappy as can be
Gand proud as heck that I'm Ccountry.
CThere's nothing wrong with city, if you Flike it that's fine
Gdriving them freeways and Crace against time,
CBut I'll bet you folks in the Fback of your minds
Gkinda wished you was Ccountry, don't ya?
spoken over C
C'mon, Boys, keep singing those country songs. Who knows? Maybe we'll convert all these
city folks into country folks and they'll all move out to the country. Then the country
won't be country anymore.
Hold on.
Wait a minute.
WOAH!!
I just gave you one side of the whole picture, because...
CCountry is heat and Fdust and snow,
Gwhere the winters get down to Cforty below
CAnd the work is hard and the Fpay's sure low
Gand it ain't all roses being Ccountry.
spoken over C
Hang in there, Folks. Don't do nothing foolish now. You got yourself a nice high paying
job, air conditioned offices, got a movie theater right down the street,
RHYTHM] an great places to eat. You got yourself a city park, too. Now that's country!
And there you don't have to worry about no rattlesnake biting ya on the leg or no grizzly
bear comin down, tearin' yer head off ?er nothin' like that.
Hey, Mr. Program Director, or should I say Music Conglomerated Homogenated Syndicated
Network, if you get a copy of this thing you can just throw it in the garbage can and forget
I ever sent the dang thing to ya.
Thank you very much.
And they will !
