Country In My Genes

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
