Country First

Lyrics

[Chorus: Long Cut] It's a place it's a feeling, it's where I wanna be It's a star filled night on a moonlit sky, deep inside of me It's a one lane road, where I belong Just another small town we call home Yeah, for better or for worse I'm country first [Verse 1: Demun Jones] Mr. Kicklighter's dock, my brother, a couple cane poles Fist fightin' or fishin', rippin' brim out the same hole Bites and misses, some too little, we had to let go We were buildin' memories even though we didn't know Worked with pops all summer, he taught us to call him Rick (What's up Rick?) We mixed all the mortar, built the scaffolds and stacked the brick Straw hats gave us shade while we worked in the oven That southern sun, unforgivin', I wouldn't trade it for nothin' A lifetime passed in what seems like a blink If I'd known I was livin' that fast I would've stop to think How good the water feels, bare foot in the creek Or the mud between your toes when ya feet sink [Chorus: Long Cut] It's a place it's a feeling, it's where I wanna be It's a star filled night on a moonlit sky, deep inside of me It's a one lane road, where I belong Just another small town we call home Yeah, for better or for worse I'm country first [Verse 2: Demun Jones] I built my dream house in the field where we played as kids (Yeah) Married my dream girl in the chapel cleansed of my sins Two beautiful baby girls God blessed us with They might fuss and fight a little but they're still best friends And these songs that I'm writin', it keeps food on the table And all the long nights drivin' keeps me humble and grateful And when I walk on the stage, the people greet me with love 'Cause most of them are country too, and they know where I'm from [Bridge: Demun Jones] It's a place where that pecan pie can take you back in time Nine years old with an ole cane pole and a red worm on your line [Chorus: Long Cut & Demun Jones] It's a place it's a feeling, it's where I wanna be It's a star filled night on a moonlit sky, deep inside of me (It's inside of me) It's a one lane road, where I belong Just another small town (Just another small town) we call home Yeah, for better or for worse I'm country first
