this country music thing

Josh Turner

Well, I spent my whole upbringin
Workin on singin a song
And that turned into dreamin
Bout the whole world singin along
So I moved on over to Nashville
Signed on the bottom line
When I threw down my low country sound
It was just a matter of time

Now my face is on your T-shirt
I m ridin round in a bus
Me and my band runnin cross the land
Everybody chasin us
I m a member of the Grand Ole Opry
People like the way I sing
I m shakin your hand and thankin
the man for this country music thing
This country music thi-ing-ing-ing

John Anderson and Randy Travis
They ve been good to me
Told me take care of my money
And it ll take care of me
I been all over this country
Been to some others too
It never gets old and every record sold
Keeps me comin back to you

And my face is on your T-shirt
I m ridin round in a bus
Me and my band runnin cross the land
Everybody chasin us
I m a member of the Grand Ole Opry
People like the way I sing
I m shakin your hand and thankin
the man for this country music thing
This country music thi-ing-ing-ing

Well, I don t take nothin for granted
And there s one thing I understand
I ve been around the world
and I ain t found nothin like a country music fan
I said country music fans

And my face is on your T-shirt
I m ridin round in a bus
Me and my band runnin cross the land
Everybody chasin us
I m a member of the Grand Ole Opry
People like the way I sing
I m shakin your hand and thankin
the man for this country music thing
This country music thing
This country music thi-ing-ing-ing

I m digging up bones, I m digging up bones
Blow, blow Seminole wind
Blow like you re never gonna blow again
Ramblin fever
I hear the train a-comin , it s rollin round the bend
Well way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hootchie cootchie
I m walking on the floor over you
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Oh, rainy day woman
I never seem to see you for the good times
Out in North Carolina, way back in the hills
Lived my ol pappy and he had him a still
Hey Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can
Mississippi River couldn t keep us apart
There s too much love in this Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Well, you re headed right in the wrong direction, honey
If you wanna come home
A country boy can survive
