INTRO . . . . . . . . . . Way back up in the coun-try,
Back in the hills Down in the hol-lows where the folks are real
- Liv-in' with the cra-zies and the old out-casts
Sawn off Shot-guns and 'Coon skin hats
That's where I'm from and I'm proud to say
I'm from the coun-try and I like it that way
Eve-ry-bo-dy knows eve-ry-bo-dy Eve-ry-bo-dy calls you friend
You don't need an in-vi-ta-tion Kick off your shoes, come on in
- Yeah, we know how to work And we know how to play
We're from the coun-try and we like it that way
INSTRUMENTAL
. . . . . . . . . . .
All day long we work in the fields Then bring it on home to a home cooked meal
- We love you like Sun-day Treat you like a Sat-ur-day night
And when the beds get - full we can sleep in the hay
'Cos we're from the coun-try and we like it that way
Eve-ry-bo-dy knows eve-ry-bo-dy Eve-ry-bo-dy calls you friend
You don't need an in-vi-ta-tion Kick off your shoes, come on in
- Yeah, we know how to work And we know how to play
We're from the coun-try and we like it that way
INSTRUMENTAL
. . . . . . . . . . .
I'm from the coun-try Hey, we're from the coun-try
I, I, I, I'm from the coun-try We're from the coun-try
Eve-ry-bo-dy knows eve-ry-bo-dy Eve-ry-bo-dy calls you friend
You don't need an in-vi-ta-tion Kick off your shoes, come on in
- Yeah, we know how to work And we know how to play We're from the coun-try
We're from the coun-try We're from the coun-try and we like it that way
