In Your Roots
verse 1-
well these days
i see people being country like its a phase
and i just don't get it
cuz its the way i was raised
you're doin it cuz its in
well let me ask you this my friend
chorus-
have you ever slung mud in a pick up truck
you ever pulled your buddy out when they've gotten stuck
you ever rolled around in the hay
not gone out to play
cuz there's work to be done
you wanna say you're country cuz its fun
but its the way you grow up
oh you don't know what country is
oh its more than a cowboy hat and a pair of boots
mmm...being countries in your roots
verse 2-
you say country brings in the money
and get you the girls
well you don't really know what its like in this little country world
see we work our ass off
to get what we got
yeah it ain't always a lot
but being countries not a choice
chorus-
have you ever slung mud in a pick up truck
you ever pulled your buddy out when they've gotten stuck
you ever rolled around in the hay
not gone out to play
cuz there's work to be done
you wanna say you're country cuz its fun
but its the way you grow up
oh you don't know what country is
oh its more than a cowboy hat and a pair of boots
mmm...being countries in your roots
verse 3-
so you better think twice
before you start to talk
cuz you gotta be able to walk the walk
its more than how you dress
oh you gotta pass the test
chorus-
have you ever slung mud in a pick up truck
you ever pulled your buddy out when they've gotten stuck
you ever rolled around in the hay
not gone out to play
cuz there's work to be done
you wanna say you're country cuz its fun
but its the way you grow up
oh you don't know what country is
oh its more than a cowboy hat and a pair of boots
