Lyrics

[Verse 1] They laid me in the crib when I was rockin' Momma used to haul a paper stoppin' But I could hear mom she was cranking on the radio [?] 'Round about the time I was walkin' Found a guitar in the closet I grew up pickin' and letting them good times roll [Chorus] This country thing I didn't just pick it up These songs I sing And it's a life I love And it was mine, all mine Before I ever knew it Well I was born into it [Verse 2] I like a little huntin' and a fishin' One horse town kinda livin' And I dang sure don't want water in my whisky I like a little fried in my chicken I like a lotta Dolly in my women Gonna wear thеse cowboy boots because thеy fit me [Chorus] This country thing I didn't just pick it up These songs I sing And it's a life I love And it was mine, all mine Before I ever knew it Well I was born into it [Chorus] This country thing I didn't just pick it up These songs I sing And it's a life I love I got my full ten pump and a rifle I read Lois in the morning and the bible And when they wave ol' glory I holler 'Cause I'm red white and blue under my collar [Chorus] This country thing I didn't just pick it up These songs I sing And it's a life I love And it was mine, all mine Before I ever knew it Well I was born into it Hey, I was born into it Hey, hey-ey yeah [Instrumental Outro]
