Lyrics

Country Is As Country Does

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I can live in a mansion or a double-wide

Eat sushi raw or my catfish fried

Wherever i am, then that's where i belong

'cause i'm quite content with who i am

And if you ain't, well, kiss my ham

Country is as country does and i'm country to the bone

Country is as country does

It's the way i am and it's the way i was

It's the way i always will be, that's for sure

Country born and country bred

Countryfied and country-fed

A country heart and a country head

'cause i'm country to the core

Now, i can drive a tractor or a cadillac

I can fly first class or slum in the back

But i'll be the same ol' gal when i arrive

I can wear denim or i can wear silk

Drink champagne or chocolate milk

Take the best or live with less, 'cause a country girl survives

Country is as country does

It's the way i am and it's the way i was

And the way i'll be until they lay me low

Country born and country bred

I'm countryfied and i'm country-fed

And i'll be that way 'til i'm country dead

'cause i'm country head to toe

And what you see is what you get

Nothing's ever changed me yet

Nothing will, it's a pretty safe bet

'cause i'm country through and through

Oh, that's country!

Country is as country does

It's the way i am and it's the way i was

It's the way i'll be until my dying day

I'm country born and country bred

Countryfied and country-fed

And nothing done and nothing said can change my country ways

Nothing done and nothing said

Nothing's gonna change my country ways

I don't think so

Wouldn't change if i could

Country is as country does

It's the way i is and it's the way i was

Country born and country bred

I'm countryfied and i'm country-fed, you know that

But now that don't mean i can't go to town!
