Way back up in the country, back in the hills

Down in the hollows where the folks are real

Livin with the crazzies and the old wildcats

Sawed off shotguns and coonskin caps

Thats where Im from and Im proud to say

Im from the country and I like it that way



Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend

You dont need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in

Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play

Were from the country and we like it that way



All day long we work in the fields

Then bring it on home to a home cooked meal

We love ya like Sunday, treat ya like Saturday night

And when the bed gets full we can sleep in the hay (hey)

Were from the country and we like it that way



Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend

You dont need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in

Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play

Were from the country and we like it that way



Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend

You dont need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in

Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play

Were from the country

Were from the country

Were from the country and we like it that way
