That's Country To Me

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

(repeat chorus)
