Story Behind The Song

It's about the things I liked and notice about the country while growing up there and how I'm glad I grew up there instead of the city.

Song Description

Life growing up in the country. It's slow at the first but has a southern rockish ending.

Lyrics

That?s Country

Sometimes getting? in from a real long day
I?ll think about the place where I was raised
Sometimes I think about the autumn breeze
And how it gives color to the leaves
I think about that time me and Bubba caught turtles in Alan?s pond
With a trap that we made earlier that day
Pickin? bluegrass with good ole friends
We shot a box of skeet every weekend

That?s country
You gotta live it up
You can?t give it up
It?s in you and me
That?s country
Where trees are growin? tall
We speak in a southern draw here
In the country

Sometimes I think about the summer heat
And how we?d go fishin? every week.
Sometimes I think about the good ole days
When gorwin up seemed so far away
I think about my daddy?s truck and
Learnin? how to drive
As we took those lonely windin? roads
Deer huntin on a mountain side
And pickin? blackberries for a homemade pie

That?s country
You gotta live it up
You can?t give it up
It?s in you and me
That?s country
It?s where you neighbors wave
It?s where I want to stay here
In the country

And I?m standin? here today in the place where I was raised
And it?s where I want to be
And I don?t give a damn what you think of me
I just thank God,
I?m from the country
I just thank God, oh yeah
I?m from the country
