Maybe I could blame it on my daddy Or something in the water in the Pinishook Creek Keep the two percent jugs for the flatties And a napkin in a cup, that's the country in me Lay my hand on the Bible Got my hand on my heart, oh say can ya see Keep my bed by my rifle Brother, that's the country in me So paint my ole pine box in bottomland Dig a big hole 'neath a red oak tree Don't put me in a suit, just my old blue collar Play some Jones when my bones go six feet deep I might not show it, but I know where I'm going And if I'ma be there for eternity Save some acres in sticks For this Mississippi kid 'Cause you'll never get rid of the country in me If you think I'm full of shit, you're stepping in it Take a look inside this camouflage 150 You gonna find you some shine and a bloody buck knife For them rattlesnake rattles, that's the country in me So paint my ole pine box in bottomland Dig a big hole 'neath a red oak tree Don't put me in a suit, just my old blue collar Play some Jones when my bones go six feet deep I might not show it, but I know where I'm going And if I'ma be there for eternity Save some acres in sticks For this Mississippi kid 'Cause you'll never get rid of the country in me The country in me Lay my hand on the Bible Bet yo' ass I'm the last of a dying breed Hey, why the hell would I hide it? I'm proud of the country in me, yeah So paint my ole pine box in bottomland Dig a big hole 'neath a red oak tree Don't put me in a suit, just my old blue collar Play some Jones when my bones go six feet deep I might not show it, but I know where I'm going And if I'ma be there for eternity Save some acres in sticks For this Mississippi kid 'Cause you'll never get rid of the country in me Country in me Country in me
