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 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
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 some things you need to know about me
