[Verse 1]

I grew up south of the Mason Dixon

Working spitting hunting and fishing

Stone cold country by the grace of God

I was gasing up the other day

And an ol' boy pulled up with a license plate

From Ohio I thought oh good lord he's lost

From his wranglers to his boots

He reminded me of Chris LeDoux

And that Copenhagen smile


[Chorus]

Country must be country wide

In every state

There's a station

Playing Cash, Hank, Willie, and Waylon

In foreign cars and four wheel drives

There's cowboys and hillbillies

From farm towns to big cities

There ain't no doubt in my mind

Country must be country wide


[Verse 2]

It ain't where

It's how you live

We weren't raised to take

We were raised to give

The shirt off our back

To anyone in need

We bow our heads before we eat

Before we start our day

Before we fall asleep

Cause in God we trust and we believe

And we see what's wrong

And we know what's right

And all Hank he said it all

When he said country folks can survive


[Chorus]

Country must be country wide

In every state

There's a station

Playing Cash, Hank, Willie, and Waylon

In foreign cars and four wheel drives

There's cowboys and hillbillies

From farm towns to big cities

There ain't no doubt in my mind

Country must be country wide


[Chorus]

Country must be country wide

In every state

There's a station

Playing Cash, Hank, Willie, and Waylon

In foreign cars and four wheel drives

There's cowboys and hillbillies

From farm towns to big cities

There ain't no doubt in my mind

Country must be country wide


[Outro]

There ain't no doubt in my mind

Country must be country wide
