What Country Means to Me

If you think country is beer and tailgates
Girls and bonfires, parties on the lake
Well, that ain't the life I've known
It might be the way they roll
Today on this radio
But it ain't country's heart and soul

Because the kind that I know
Is dirt roads and front porch swings
It's that pride old glory, it brings
The kind of place a man's worth
Still means everything
It's life at a slower pace
And leaning on amazing grace (hmm, hmm)
Some folks might choose to disagree
But that's what country means to me

It's working and trying to live right
And hitting your knees most every night
Thanking God for all you have
You might say I'm stuck in the past
That's okay, I'm fine with that
'Cause I found right where I belong

So take me home
Dirt roads and front porch swings
To that pride old glory brings
The kind of place a man's worth
Still means everything
So life at a slower pace (hmm, hmm) and leaning on amazing grace
Some folks might choose to disagree
But that's what country means to me

You can't buy it, but you can't hide it
What country's in your heart
You might not find it on a map
But if you're looking for a place to start

There's still dirt roads and front porch swings
And my little town in Tennessee
Is back where our mans were
Still means everything
Life's at a slower pace
We all sing amazing grace

Some folks might choose to disagree
But that's what country means to me
That's what country means
That's what country means to me
