We rode horses a bit back when we were kids And we all tried to ride like the Lone Ranger did A cowboy hat was something we seldom wore 'cause we got our hats at the local feed store There's no rodeo but we have lots of cows And square metal barns full of tractors and plows Rows of crops as far as you can see Now that's country to me
chorus: That's country to me No place on this earth I'd rather be Now that's country to me
Yeah our church is old but still looks new Come Sunday morning they'll fill every pew A smorgasbord at the end of Main Street And one coffee shop where the old people meet There's two grocery stores, no shopping malls Fireworks on the fourth and a fair in the fall Pick nick'n, fried chicken, sweet tea yeah Now that's country to me
(repeat chorus)
Cruising gravel roads watching the stars Lightning bugs in mason jars Hanging laundry on the line to dry Blackberry cobbler, strawberry pie Waving at folks you don't even know Watching the corn and the children grow The finest sunsets you'll ever see Now that's country to me
