INTRO Not another country song… Can’t ya sing somethin’ loud? Somethin’ fast, somethin’ modern, Not them old sad country sounds. They say no one wants heartbreak, No one wants them worn-out tunes, Just makes folks feel tired and lonely On a Saturday afternoon… I turn around and tip my hat, Give a wink and a cheeky grin, Pull up a chair, folks, settle back… ’Cause this is where the songs begin. VERSE 1 Country ain’t about sadness, It’s the beauty of the land, Mates standin’ shoulder to shoulder When life don’t go as planned. Through the trials that come upon us, We keep walking through, In these old country stories There’s a bit of me and you. CHORUS Country’s the heart of this great land, Gum trees and picnics, hand in hand. Summer swims in cool clear rivers, Dusty roads that lead us home, Wide blue skies above us Remind us we belong. VERSE 2 Good times in the country Stay with you for life, Campfires by the riverbanks, Stars in the cold night sky. These old songs are written So others feel them too, The memories and the history That live in me and you. From dusty tracks to campgrounds, From old towns to the plains, The stories that we share in life Still run through our veins. FINAL CHORUS / OUTRO So this is who we are, folks, Country runs in our veins, Peace is found in the stillness After summer desert rains. Standin’ shoulder to shoulder In this great southern land, With the earth beneath our footsteps We all understand.
