Take me on up to Detroit city

Jails are full, the factories empty

Mommas crying, young boys dying

Under that red white and blue

still flying

Drop me off in Baltimore

Where every other window's

got a plywood board

Where dreams become drugs and guns

The only way out is to shoot or run

Stick that in your country song, yeah

Take that one to number one, yeah

And get the whole world

singing along, yeah

Stick that in your country song, yeah

Sing about the man coming back from war

23 going on 54

He lost a friend, his sight, his hands

Baby girl he'll never see again

Stick that in your country song, yeah

Take that one to number one, yeah

And get the whole world singin along man

Stick that in your country song, yeah

Light the arrow, pull the bow

Shoot that fire right through my soul

Hit my pride, fist up high

I wanna feel the rush

I wanna feel alive

C'mon, I wanna pound the dash

Stomp the gas, drive too fast

Rock me hard, stop my heart

And blow the speakers

right out of this car

Stick that in your country song, yeah

Take that one to number one, yeah

And get the whole world singin along man

Stick that in your country song, yeah

Stick that in your country song

Take that one to number one

I could sing this all night long, yeah

Stick that in your country song, yeah

(instrumental break)

Gimme one about the teacher who's

Trying to change a life or two

She'll be rocking out all night with you

Tomorrow she'll back

in a red brick school

Where kids are climbing off the walls

It's scary walking down the halls

She's underpaid, she's overworked

Come on man, shout one out to her

Stick that in your country song

Take that one to number one, yeah

And get the whole world singing along

Stick that in your country song

Stick that in your country song

Take that one to number one

And get the whole world

singing along, man

Stick that in your country song, yeah

Stick that in your country song, yeah

And get the whole world singing along

Stick that in your country song
