Ride Through The Country (2013)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Colt Ford] Down the road where the black top ends You can find Colt Ford with all his friends We're used to gravel roads and fishin' with cane poles Wasn't no swimmin' pools, just swimmin' holes We was dirt road poor, cane switch raised I done came a long way since back in the day Been around the world twice, seen all fifty states Ate on thousand dollar china, love some paper plates There ain't nothin' wrong with them big city lights Me, I prefer them slow country nights Where I can see the darkness come in and go Most folks is honest, and they all speak slow You leave your door open, ain't nothin' will happen Most country folks sing, but I couldn't so I'm rappin' I wanna show y'all where I come from Invite ya all down to any country town [Chorus: John Michael Montgomery, Joe Diffie, & Ronnie Dunn] Now before I pack my things and leave Somethin' I need you to understand I seen a lotta things in my lifetime, that's why I walk the line I'm just a simple man And I done did things for cheap thrills But all my scars heal, so don't you ever cry for me 'Cause I ain't ashamed where I'm from, you always welcome To take a ride through the country [Verse 2: Colt Ford] Up, dressed, and gone by 5am Hell, he's country and he's rappin', we gots to play him Folks been waitin' for someone like me To give 'em some hot beats and spit that country My jeans don't sag, they fit and kinda tight Got on a white t-shirt, know nothin' but work Daylight 'til dark, that's how I was bred And I'ma keep bein' country 'til the day I'm dead Country folks eat biscuits called cat heads Barbecue, baked beans, sweet tea, and white bread We like to fish and hunt, ain't scared of a fight Love the good Lord and believe in doin' right Got four-wheel drives, some got mud on 'em You keep your Rolls Royce, 'cause baby, we don't want 'em So now ya all know exactly who I am And if you ain't into that, I don't give a damn [Chorus: John Michael Montgomery, Joe Diffie, & Ronnie Dunn] Now before I pack my things and leave Somethin' I need you to understand I seen a lotta things in my lifetime, that's why I walk the line I'm just a simple man And I done did things for cheap thrills But all my scars heal, so don't you ever cry for me 'Cause I ain't ashamed where I'm from, you always welcome To take a ride through the country [Verse 3: John Michael Montgomery, Joe Diffie, & Ronnie Dunn] You might see my on your TV, honey But that don't mean a thing You see I'm still that same ole country boy, that's all I'll ever be And sometimes those bright lights blind me And make it hard for me to see But when I need to be reminded I take a ride through the country [Verse 4: Colt Ford] At about 5 o'clock on Friday afternoon Them country boys head down to the local saloon You're welcome to stop in and have a cold bottle Big city boys and stuck up super models We don't care where ya from, long as you polite 'Cause push come to shove and every one of us'll fight We mostly easy like Sunday morning Ole Colt came here to give y'all fair warnin' Country folks won't be pushed around There's some of us livin' in every town We believe in the Bible and the USA You work hard for what you want, it's the American way Nobody owe you nothin', supposed to earn your keep Put in a hard day's work, get a good night's sleep I know some of y'all think ole Colt's kinda odd But I'm loud, proud, and country by the grace of God [Chorus: John Michael Montgomery, Joe Diffie, & Ronnie Dunn] Now before I pack my things and leave Somethin' I need you to understand I seen a lotta things in my lifetime, that's why I walk the line I'm just a simple man And I done did things for cheap thrills But all my scars heal, so don't you ever cry for me 'Cause I ain't ashamed where I'm from, you always welcome To take a ride through the country
