Lyrics

(Kenny beard/lonnie wilson/jimmy yeary)

Bring it on to me

We're backwoods dixie, flat woods pickin'
Shotgun wavin', long-neck drinkin'
Huntin' and a-fishin', workin' and a-wishin' for the weekend

We say: "yes ma'am, no ma'am, sir, can a lend a hand?"
Take a stand for somethin' we believe in
Love an' pray and do anythin' for a good friend

We like camp fires burnin', buttermilk churnin'
Old folks, dirt roads windin' and a-turnin'
To a muddy creek; jumpin' from a tall tree into the deep end

That's a country thang
People who don't live it just might think we've gone insane
But though the folks down home, we can stand right up and say:
It's a country thang

We like moonlight sippin', late skinny-dippin'
Flat rock skippin', catfish hittin'
Sittin' on a creek-bank, sun's up but we ain't leavin'

We like country twang and good southern rockin'
Fun in the sun on the bass boat dockin'
Home made wine an' a mess of fish pie an' then a hot jam

Got gran'mas, gran'pas, newborn young 'uns;
Double wide homes an' double first cousins
An old town square an' a county fair: it's a good plan

It's a country thang
People who don't live it just might think we've gone insane
But though the folks down home, we can stand right up and say:
It's a country thang

It's a country thang
People who don't live it just might think we've gone insane
But though the folks back home, we can stand right up and say:
It's a country thang
It's a country thang
It's a country thang

That's right!
