[Verse 1] Walking on some dirt road, don't make you Country. Western wear helps you look the part. Dancing at a Hoedown, gits you a bit closer... But there is one big thing missing. [Spoken Interlude] (Tell you now!) [Verse 2] Living on a Farm... now that makes you Country. Feeding hogs, and splittin' logs. Hunting coyotes when they get too close. And if you're lucky... Chores are done before the sun goes down. [Chorus] It's a way of life, this living Country. You can't get this kind of feeling from just anywhere. But we never feel were better than everyone else... I can tell you now, the air from that barn ain't so sweet. [Spoken Interlude] (Listen up!) [Verse 3] My buddy and me went to the big city, Don't recall now what it was for. Stopped at a place... for a cold one. ...Seems it was a mistake, right there and then. [Verse 4] We weren't looking for any kind of trouble. Then someone said, "We don't like your Cowboy hats." Four got up the nerve to knock them to the floor... And that's where we left them all, Before we walked out the door. [Spoken Interlude] (Tipped the waitress!) [Chorus] It's a way of life, this living Country. You can't get this kind of feeling from just anywhere. But we never feel were better than everyone else... I can tell you now, the air from that barn ain't so sweet. [Bridge] Don't have much to do with that Ole City. We didn't want to teach them boys a lesson. Maybe next time, don't pick a fight... With a man who was raised on eating steak. [Spoken Interlude] (No tofu!) [Chorus] It's a way of life, this living Country. You can't get this kind of feeling from just anywhere. But we never feel were better than everyone else... I can tell you now, the air from that barn ain't so sweet. [Outro] [Spoken] (No barn-scented candles, y'all!) [instrumental] [Honky-tonk piano final notes, short fade out]
