He was raised on a tractor in overalls and boots Been to college and then law school since leaving his roots Came home in a Lexus, he left in a Ford Country ain't country no more. He told his daddy catch up with the times He said now a days people trade heifers online Dad ain't sealing deals with a handshake like before Country ain't country no more. No, country ain't country no more. The back forty was sold to make up for hard times Then sold by the half acre lot overnight The houses went up and the trees were cut down And there went the finest deer hunting around Lord, everyone's locking their doors 'Cause country ain't country no more. Now his dad sits in traffic looking 'round at the change Watching crews turn the county road into four lanes The old Sunday drive has turned into a chore Country ain't country no more. Lord, country ain't country no more. The back forty was sold to make up for hard times Then sold by the half acre lot overnight The houses went up and the trees were cut down And there went the finest deer hunting around Lord, everyone's locking their doors 'Cause country ain't country no more. There's no turning back And you just can't ignore That country ain't country no more. No, country ain't country no more... Country certainly isn't country anymore... Thanks to Kerry. VOTE Bush!

Have you ever picked guitar on your front porch In the morning as the sun was risin'? Or followed your dog down to the river And ran into an ole' baptizin'? Do you think to pull off on the side of the road When that big black hearse is passing? Have you ever helped someone in need Without them even asking? We do that in the country, Let me tell you 'bout country. Country can be in the middle of a city Country can be on a farm, Country ain't even a place on map, It's a place in your heart. Have you ever hitched a ride to Music City Just to see an Opry show? Would you drive across the country To listen to some country? Country can be in the middle of a city Country can be on a farm, Country ain't even a place on the map, It's a place in your heart. Have you ever been there at the courthouse square For the parade on the 'Fourth of July'? With a tear on your face and a lump in your throat As you watch ole' glory go by, Or sat thru a service where they played tabs For a soldier who never came home? Or looked in the sad brown eyes of his momma As she touched his name on that stone? He fought for his country And died for his country I love my country. Let me tell you 'bout. country.
