Say I'm a little too loud for the Opry crowd and I'm not enough country gold
G C A7
But I'm not gonna' change may little home on the range to be what you think country is
C G E7 C D G
'Cause I call it like I see it, sing it like I mean it and I play it just like I live
[Refrão] C G
Man if that ain't country I don't know what is
D G
If that ain't country, man I'm as country as country gets
C G
I ain't champagne, I'm more like the Budweiser fizz
D G
If that ain't country, I don't know what is
Well you see this hat, it ain't no act and these boots they aren't for show
I'm not schooled in voice, I'm not country by choice, man, country is all I know
I've been bailin' hay and plowin' fields all day since I was just a kid
See country to me ain't some song that I sing, it's more about the life that I live
Chorus 2:
Man if that ain't country I don't know what is
If that ain't country, man I'm as country as country gets
I ain't Beethoven, I'm more like a Jack Daniel's fifth
If that ain't country, well I don't know what is
Fiddle
Well it's where I play, it's where I stay and it's where they'll lay me down
I'm here today friends by the grace of God and a few good rodeo clowns
Now if all of this ain't enough to convince you that my colors are tried and true
Well my neck is red, my pick-up's white and my cow dog's name is Blue
Chorus 3:
Man if that ain't country I don't know what is
If that ain't country, man I'm as country as country gets
I sure ain't GQ, and I ain't about no crossover hits
If I'm not country, then I don't know what is
See friends It ain't about winnin' no Oscar
What you see is what you get
If that ain't country I don't know what is
