Lyrics

Verse 1:
Pick up that guitar, let it tell your story,
Let the strings sing out, don't you worry,
We got a fire burnin' in this old barn tonight,
Kickin' up dust and feelin' just right.

The banjo's pluckin', got that toe-tap sound,
Fiddle's in the corner, twirlin' us 'round,
Mandolin's ready to jump in the game,
And the steel guitar's callin' out my name.

Pre-Chorus:
We'll hit that rhythm, make it loud and sweet,
Every note a heartbeat under our feet,
Play it like you mean it, don't hold back,
This is our song, and we're on the right track.

Chorus:
Play it like you mean it, let it out strong,
Every note a part of where we belong,
From the hills and valleys to the open plains,
This country heart runs through our veins.
The guitar's hummin', banjo's in the air,
Fiddle's spinnin' stories, no need to care,
Play it like you mean it, with all your soul,
Let the music take us where the wild winds blow.

Verse 2:
Now here comes the fiddle, she's ready to fly,
Bow across the strings, touchin' the sky,
The mandolin's dancin' right in line,
While that bass keeps us steady, keepin' time.

The dobro's got a slide, smooth and clear,
And the drums keep rollin', loud and near,
Every sound we play, it fills the air,
Like the wind through the pines without a care.

Pre-Chorus:
We'll hit that rhythm, let it shake the ground,
Every note a heartbeat, every inch of sound,
Play it like you mean it, don't let go,
This is our time, just feel the flow.

Chorus:
Play it like you mean it, let it out strong,
Every note a part of where we belong,
From the hills and valleys to the open plains,
This country heart runs through our veins.
The guitar's hummin', banjo's in the air,
Fiddle's spinnin' stories, no need to care,
Play it like you mean it, with all your soul,
Let the music take us where the wild winds blow.

Chorus (with Instrumental Solos):
Play it like you mean it, let it out strong,
Every note a part of where we belong,
From the hills and valleys to the open plains,
This country heart runs through our veins.
The guitar's hummin', banjo's in the air,
Fiddle's spinnin' stories, no need to care,
Play it like you mean it, with all your soul,
Let the music take us where the wild winds blow.

Outro
Play it like you mean it, play it true,
This music's a part of me and you.
