Country Down to My Soul

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' big city Then you're in for a big surprise Now listen little darlin' There's 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 tooloud 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 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
