Country Proud

where i come from its quiet nights
expect after them friday lights
where we get a little rowdy
in the middle of nowhere
with some cold beer
and the speakers cranked
pumpin out a lot of Hank
oh

its yes ma'am
and no sir
please and thank you
thats just how we do
its cold cans
callused hands
and rockin farmers tans
its lookin someone in the eye
and knowin it aint no lie
its a dyin way of life
its respecting your elders and the soldiers fighting for you and me
it aint where you're from
its how you were raised
and its the only way we know how to be
you'll never here me put it down
yeah i'm country proud

where i come from we take our hats off at the table
we always lend a helping hand
when we're able
aint afraid of a little hard work
puttin our hands in the dirt
we hunt
we fish
we drink a little whiskey when we're hurt
say a little prayer for those we miss
hey ya'll
i love livin life like this

its yes ma'am
and no sir
please and thank you
thats just how we do
its cold cans
callused hands
and rockin farmers tans
its lookin someone in the eye
and knowin it aint no lie
its a dyin way of life
its respecting your elders and the soldiers fighting for you and me
it aint where you're from
its how you were raised
and its the only way we know how to be
you'll never here me put it down
yeah i'm country proud

i am who i am
and that aint nothing i can change
its just the way i was raised
and i'll pass it on
keep this way of life goin strong
oh

its yes ma'am
and no sir
please and thank you
thats just how we do
its cold cans
callused hands
and rockin farmers tans
its lookin someone in the eye
and knowin it aint no lie
its a dyin way of life
its respecting your elders and the soldiers fighting for you and me
it aint where you're from
its how you were raised
and its the only way we know how to be
you'll never here me put it down
yeah i'm country proud
