COUNTRY DOWN TO MY SOUL
(Lee Roy Parnell / Cris Moore)
Cruisin' New York City in the back of this limousine
Spendin' my hard-earned money like it grows on trees
You're an uptown girl
Mighty easy on the eye
But if you think that I'm big city
Then you're in for a big surprise
Now listen little darlin' there's some things you need to know about me
I like grits and gravy, hot tamales, black-eyed peas
Wakin' up at first daylight
Headin' for a fishin' hole
You might catch me rockin' but
I'm country down to my soul
Well, I rolled into town playing guitar in a hillbilly band
You like our rockin' rhythm
You say it makes you want to dance
Just because I like to turn it up and play a little too loud
Don't think for a minute I don't fit in with the honky tonk crowd
Now listen little darlin' there's some things you need to know about me
I like grits and gravy, hot tamales, black-eyed peas
Jumpin' in my truck for a ride headin' down some old back road
You might catch me rockin' but
I'm country down to my soul
Yes ma'am, I come from Texas
I'm mighty proud of my roots
I don't wear a hat but I got forty pair of cowboy boots
Me and Bob Wills used to sing the San Antonio Rose
That's where I learned to swing it, girl
I'm country down to my soul
Now listen little darlin' there's some things you need to know about me
I like grits and gravy, hot tamales, black-eyed peas
Layin' on a blanket at night watchin' the stars put on a show
You might catch me rockin' but
I'm country down to my soul
You might catch me rockin' but
I'm country down to my soul
Now that's country
