In the Country

[Intro] [Fast rhythmic banjo plucking] [Foot stomps and hand claps - steady 4/4 beat] (Hey! Ho! Let’s go!) [Verse 1] Park the truck right by the creek We’ve been working hard all week Dust is flying, the sun is gold Got a story that’s never been told. Leave your worries at the gate No more time for love and hate Just a rhythm in the ground Listen to that lonesome sound. [Pre-Chorus] [Stomp, stomp, clap] Can you feel it in your bones? (Yeah!) Higher than the rolling stones One step left, one step right We’re gonna burn it up tonight! [Chorus] Ooh-ooh, we’re heading out to the country Ooh-ooh, where the air is sweet and honey Pull your boots up, hit the floor Give me soul and give me more. No diamonds here, just silver stars Playing tunes on old guitars In the country! (Hey!) Down in the country! [Verse 2] [Banjo keeps the fast pace] Mama’s kitchen, porch swing vibe Keeping that old flame alive It ain’t about the city lights It’s about these Southern nights. Whiskey neat or sweet cold tea This is where I’m meant to be From the valley to the hill Everything is standing still. [Bridge] [Breakdown - only vocals and hand claps] Slide to the left Slide to the right Keep that fire Burning bright. [Banjo comes back in heavy] Whistle loud, let it ring Everybody start to sing! [Guitar & Fiddle Solo] [High energy instrumental break] [Chorus] Ooh-ooh, we’re heading out to the country Ooh-ooh, where the air is sweet and honey Pull your boots up, hit the floor Give me soul and give me more. No diamonds here, just silver stars Playing tunes on old guitars In the country! (Hey!) Down in the country! [Outro] [Slowing down slightly] Just me and the pines... Everything’s fine... [Final loud stomp] (Hey!) [End]
