way back up in the country

back in the hills

down in the hollows

where the folks are real

livin'with the crazzies

and the old wildcats

sawed off shotguns and coonskin caps

that's where i'm from

and i'm proud to say

i'm from the country

and i like it that way

everybody knows everybody

everybody calls you friend

you don't need an invitation

kick off your shoes come on in

yeah we know how to work

and we know how to play

we're from the country

and we like it that way

all day long we work in the fields

then bring it on home

for a home cooked meal

we love ya like sunday

treat ya like saturday night

and when the beds get full we

can sleep in the hay bracketed

we're from the country

and we like it that way

everybody knows everybody

everybody calls you friend

you don't need an invitation

kick off your shoes come on in

yeah we know how to work

and we know how to play

we're from the country

and we like it that way

everybpdy knows everybody

everybody calls you friend

you don't need an invitation

kick off your shoes come on in

yeah we know how to work

and we know how to play

we're from the country

we're from the country

we're from the country

and we like it that way
