Country Way

I live out in the country, used to hang on old Pond Creek
Used to cat fish with my Grandpa, used to cut the grass for free
And there ain't been a damn thing that could teach me right from wrong
Used to listen to Hank Williams, tried to live out all his songs
Yeah, I've been around them cowboys, I grew up in Tennessee
I ain't just part of that country 'cause that country's part of me, yeah

Son bakin' down on my back in the bass hole
That asshole spray paints everything camo
Nah, I ain't professional, got Walmart cans though
Get up out that case of hoochie coohie on the dance floor
Choppin' like machetes at McCallas and McCambo
Rather drive a truck than a brand new Lambo'
C-H, E-A, T-H-A-M-C-O
Ain't gone hold me back, drop life, down in four low

You won't catch me slippin' 'cause I'm comin' like some swampers
I get hurt, rub some dirt on it, I don't need a doctor
Grew up around them outlaws and kept my ears open
Heard stories that are ancient 'til the tenth time they told 'em
Six guns gettin' drawn on illegal games of poker
Chicken fights on other states, cages in the Winnebago
Lightin' up a cigarette, blowin' smoke up out the window
Middle of the summer radio, seats made of leather

Gamblin' with them roosters, even with all the Kentucky Copers
I be cookin' up somethin' like steam mashed and copper
I stay smokin' on loud, oil leak under a chopper
My road is kind of rocky but I bet you I'm a topper
It ain't nothin', but a gamble like dice, watch for them snake eyes
They're hidin' in the grass that's why I constantly cut mine
I'm makin' me a path and slowly droppin' them land mines
Flame in my hand let's make us one of them wildfires

I live out in the country, used to hang on old Pond Creek
Used to cat fish with my Grandpa, used to cut the grass for free
And there ain't been a damn thing that could teach me right from wrong
Used to listen to Hank Williams, tried to live out all his songs
Yeah, I've been around them cowboys, I grew up in Tennessee
I ain't just part of that country 'cause that country's part of me, yeah

No shirt, sun burnt, smile like I'm trouble sent
Dixie chicks, truck beds, Cheyenne, '86
Surface rust, plenty dents, buzzing off about a fifth
Cranking up the Kid Rock, everybody turning heads
35's humming on that river road asphalt
Windows rolled down, give a wave to the county cops
Got a lotta haters in the county line zone
But that's okay 'cause I'm sitting on my throne
You ain't doin' it how I'm doin' it so go talk that lotty dotty
I'll be gigging in the ponds, go ahead get froggy

And I love fist fighting like my sister's Ronda Rousey
Coming straight up out the screen door, straight up off the damn porch
Burnin' haters asses like I chase 'em with a lit torch
Hop up in the damn Ford, gas to the damn floor
Dust in the wind, adrenaline, I know you want more
Mirrors shaking in the doors, cranking up the Justin Moore
Beer by the case, coming out a Lewis country store
Rebel flag hat, few scars on my knuckles

'Cause I live fast always and I ain't even buckle
Hop that little picket fence and get some mud up on them Marriott's
And get into my truck, old Silverado of a chariot
Charlie Daniels, baby, best believe I'm always blaring it
Oakley's down low, smiling ain't nobody scaring shit
Growing up to what I call rough country lift kit

I live out in the country, used to hang on old Pond Creek
Used to cat fish with my Grandpa, used to cut the grass for free
And there ain't been a damn thing that could teach me right from wrong
Used to listen to Hank Williams, tried to live out all his songs
Yeah, I've been around them cowboys, I grew up in Tennessee
