[Intro]
G F C G
G F C G
[Verse 1]
GPeople talkin' 'bout what is and what ain't countrFy
What gCives 'em a right to wear a pair of beat-up bGoots?
Is it the siGze of your tires and your fires, or your wild ass buFddies?
Well, gCive me a minute, let me hit you with some hometown tGruth
[Pre-Chorus]
You could be a coGwboy on the Texas plain
Or a plFowboy waiCtin' on the rain
We're all a little different, but we're all the same
Everybody doin' their own thing
[Chorus 1]
I got my dGirt road cred when I was 12
On a no-cFab tractor hauling them bales
BCacking in boats, fishing limb-lines
GRunning bird dogs through the GeorCgia pines
GStep side covered down in peanut dust
FFriday night spotlight'n, that was us
It might Cnot've been you, but I ain't judging
CJust be proud of what makes you couGntryF  C  G  F  
[Verse 2]
Does it Grun in your blood?
Did it come from your daddy and maFma?
Were you cConverted by an Alabama song on the raGdio?
That feels so right
Did you lGock eyes with a little green-eyed girl from JaFckson?
TCell me what got ya, I just gotta knGow
[Chorus 2]
Me, I got my SunGday learning in a live oak church
SFilver Queen corn in the backyard dirt
CWaiting for the fall to finally come along
So GI can grab my gun and get my ouCtside on
GStep side covered down in peanut dust
FFriday night spotlight'n, that was us
It might nCot've been you, but I ain't judging
Just be proud of what makes you coGuntry
[Bridge]
Might bGe from a city or a little farm town
WFhatever kind of square that you drove around
Do you wCear it on your sleeve or keep it deep down?
You know you gotta let it out
[Chorus 1]
I got my dGirt road cred back when I was 12
On a no-cFab tractor hauling them bales
BCacking in boats, fishing limb-lines
GRunning bird dogs through the GeorCgia pines
GStep side covered down in peanut dust
FFriday night spotlight'n, that was us
It might Cnot've been you, but I ain't judging
CJust be proud of what makes you couGntryF  C  G  F  
[Outro]
GYou do your kinda country
FThey doing they kind of country
CI do my kind of country
GWhatever mCakes us countGry

[Intro]

G F C G

[Verse 1]

G F

People talkin' 'bout what is and what ain't country

C G

What gives 'em a right to wear a pair of beat-up boots?

G F

Is it the size of your tires and your fires, or your wild ass buddies?

C G

Well, give me a minute, let me hit you with some hometown truth

[Pre-Chorus]

You could be a cowboy on the Texas plain

F C

Or a plowboy waitin' on the rain

We're all a little different, but we're all the same

Everybody doin' their own thing

[Chorus 1]

I got my dirt road cred when I was 12

On a no-cab tractor hauling them bales

Backing in boats, fishing limb-lines

G C

Running bird dogs through the Georgia pines

Step side covered down in peanut dust

Friday night spotlight'n, that was us

It might not've been you, but I ain't judging

C G F C G F

Just be proud of what makes you country

[Verse 2]

Does it run in your blood?

Did it come from your daddy and mama?

C G

Were you converted by an Alabama song on the radio?

That feels so right

G F

Did you lock eyes with a little green-eyed girl from Jackson?

C G

Tell me what got ya, I just gotta know

[Chorus 2]

Me, I got my Sunday learning in a live oak church

Silver Queen corn in the backyard dirt

Waiting for the fall to finally come along

G C

So I can grab my gun and get my outside on

Step side covered down in peanut dust

Friday night spotlight'n, that was us

It might not've been you, but I ain't judging

Just be proud of what makes you country

[Bridge]

Might be from a city or a little farm town

Whatever kind of square that you drove around

Do you wear it on your sleeve or keep it deep down?

You know you gotta let it out

[Chorus 1]

I got my dirt road cred back when I was 12

On a no-cab tractor hauling them bales

Backing in boats, fishing limb-lines

G C

Running bird dogs through the Georgia pines

Step side covered down in peanut dust

Friday night spotlight'n, that was us

It might not've been you, but I ain't judging

C G F C G F

Just be proud of what makes you country

[Outro]

You do your kinda country

They doing they kind of country

I do my kind of country

G C G

Whatever makes us country
