Lyrics

[Chorus 1] Countrier than thou Countrier than thou You weren't raised in a shack So you better not act so Countrier than thou [Verse 1] Some people just don't understand it If you come from where the kudzu grows They think the south is like a planet Of peckerwoods and bozos When I was young I picked some goobers Even took a swig of moonshine But I never saw so many goobers Until the day I crossed that line [Chorus 2] Countrier than thou Countrier than thou You wasn't born in a cave So you better not behave so Countrier than thou [Verse 2] Down at the bar a-spinnin' Haggard He wore a Johnny Reb tattoo Overalls, he spat and swaggered Lord, he was a Boston Jew He loved bluegrass, oh brother When I said Shania he sneered "That's a word I wouldn't utter "We like to keep it down-home up here" [Chorus 3] Countrier than thou Countrier than thou You ain't never read your Bible Tell me why's your vibe all Countrier than thou? [Bridge] Home is nice and Dixie's nice And everyone likes a thing that's nice But everybody likes you better by far When you are what you are Not a hillbilly dilettante, fair-weather hick Demi-clod, faux po'folks, well-readneck Robert-E.-come-lately Hayseed wanna-be Undercover Yankee Mississip- Ph. D Alabam-ateur, 50% less Tarheel Armchair Arkansan [Verse 3] He's got a ranch, he wears a Stetson He's a hip-shootin' ex-oil king Even talks like Buddy Ebsen But he's sittin' in the West Wing Frankenstein I'm well aware of But won't somebody please explain How you get a county sheriff Walkin' with a frat-boy's brain [Chorus 4] Countrier than thou Countrier than thou Well you went to Andover What's the banjo fer? Countrier than thou Yeah, Countrier than thou You wasn't raised in a shack So you better not act so Countrier than thou (Off-white trash)
