Story Behind The Song
We are given our daily dose of all of the foreign cars and everything else, and then we hear that people can't make a living because all of our jobs are shipped over seas. This is about those that wake up every morning and work for a living to support America
Song Description
People in the country are dedicated to America and their country ways. They don't buy trucks from Japan or boots from Taiwan. They believe in hard work, doing right by each other and going to church.

Lyrics
This is Real Country
Verse:
Where I come from
Men don't buy trucks made in Japan
Folks earn a livin' off the land
We don't buy boots made in Taiwan
Hit the fields at the crack of dawn
Pre-Chorus:
Don't need advice on how to live our lives
Chorus:
This is real country
As good as it gets
This is real country
won't settle for less
This is real country
Where I come from
We call it 110% American
Verse:
Where I grew up
We all tried to do good in school
Bein' polite was really cool
Did our chores without bein' told
Church on Sunday never got old
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
Bridge:
Now I ain't sayin' city folks - got it wrong
I just know that's not where I belong
(Instrumental)
Verse:
Where I come from
We help our neighbors when they're down
Don't get a check from somewhere downtown
We do our part when called to serve
Never take more than we deserve
Pre-chorus
Don't need no advice on how to live our lives
CHORUS
Outro:
Yeah, It's 110% American
We call it 110% American
110% American Made (spoken)
