i'm country

Chris Ledoux

Iââ?¬â?¢m Country
Well thereââ?¬â?¢s a little word and it fits me to a T
I donââ?¬â?¢t know how you spell it but its country and thatââ?¬â?¢s me.
I laugh when Iââ?¬â?¢m happy and cry when Iââ?¬â?¢m blue
ââ?¬Ë?cus when Iââ?¬â?¢m mad like Iââ?¬â?¢m suppose to do
on a saturday night Iââ?¬â?¢ll have a drink or two
and hollow at the moon Iââ?¬â?¢m country.

I chew tobaccer and spit it on the ground
talk to the cows when no one ainââ?¬â?¢t around
Iââ?¬â?¢m trapped on the mountain when the snows falling down
yes sir boys Iââ?¬â?¢m country

Chorus
Iââ?¬â?¢m as country as bronc on the western plains
just as wild and twice as hard to tame
as high on living as a noon day sun, yea
Iââ?¬â?¢ll be country ââ?¬Ë?til the day Iââ?¬â?¢m done.

City folks think Iââ?¬â?¢m crude I guess
you can tell Iââ?¬â?¢m a hick by the way I dress
but that donââ?¬â?¢t matter Iââ?¬â?¢m as happy as can be
and proud as heck that Iââ?¬â?¢m country.
Well thereââ?¬â?¢s nothing wrong with city if you like it thatââ?¬â?¢s fine
drivinââ?¬â?¢ them freeways wasting its time,
but I bet you folks in the back of your mind, kinda wish you was country donââ?¬â?¢t
ya.

Chorus

Come on boys keep singing them country songs who knows maybe we will just
convert some of these city folks into country folks and theyââ?¬â?¢ll all move out to
the country and then the country wont be country anymore. Hold on

I just gave you one side to the whole picture because
country is heart and dust and snow where the winters get down to forty below
and the works is hard
and the pay sure low and it ainââ?¬â?¢t all roses being country.
Hang in there folks donââ?¬â?¢t do nothinââ?¬â?¢ foolish now
you got yourself a nice high paying job air conditioned offices
yea you got movie theaters right on down the street there
you got yourself a city park too, now thatââ?¬â?¢s country
and there you donââ?¬â?¢t have to worry about no rattle snakes biting on your leg
or no abdominal snowman coming down and tearing off your head or nothing like
that there
