Country Born and Bred

The country roads with high hedgerows
Let me know when I'm near to home
Tractors lug trailers and muck
Covered in mud like a fresh dug spud
Cows and pigs, chickens and chicks
Live with us out here in the sticks

Close your eyes, here that sound
Listen to the birds in the trees all around
Sun goes down, stars are bright
You don't get that in the city at night
Let's build a fire, hear the town crier
Bring the roof down in the shire

Cos we're country born and bred
Strong in the arm and smart in the head
No hill too steep, we can herd sheep
And work in the fields 'til our necks goes red
Ales on tap and we party till 3
There ain't no place where the grass is so green
The girls round here are the best I've seen
I'm country born and bred

The girls like a man who drink 10 cans
Talk with a twang and play in a band
Work the land now that sounds grand
You townie folk don't stand a chance

It was a dance, where I met my lass
Partnered up boy how about that
She walks with me and pedigree
Loyal dog who don't need no lead

Cos he's country born and bred
Strong in the arm and smart in the head
No hill too steep, he can herd sheep
And work in the fields 'til his neck goes red
Tail wags when he's near to me
There ain't no place he'd rather be
The bitches round here are the best he's seen
He's country born and bred

My six string here is a friend so dear
I buy myself and her a beer
Here we are, in this little barn
Beer and friends and this guitar
Last summer was the hottest so far
Tucked in my shirt and got to the bar
Cider on tap, worries long gone
Country music is all we want

Cos we're country born and bred
Strong in the arm and smart in the head
No hill too steep, we can herd sheep
And work in the fields 'til our necks goes red
Ales on tap and we party till 3
There ain't no place where the grass is so green
The girls round here are the best I've seen
I'm country born and bred

Cos we're country born and bred
Strong in the arm and smart in the head
No hill too steep, we can herd sheep
And work in the fields 'til our necks goes red
Ales on tap and we party till 3
There ain't no place where the grass is so green
The girls round here are the best I've seen
I'm country born and bred

Cos we're country born and bred
Strong in the arm and smart in the head
No hill too steep, we can herd sheep
And work in the fields 'til our necks goes red
Ales on tap and we party till 3
There ain't no place where the grass is so green
The girls round here are the best I've seen
I'm country born and bred
