[Intro]
G#m  B  C#  E
[Verse 1]
I grew up G#m48506
Way up Bnorth and in the sticks
With my C#grandpa's tractor in the Ebackyard
Running G#mbarefoot wild and free
Through the Bfields and through the creeks
Where C#God's good people like to Ework hard
My G#mroots run deeper Bthan these woods
Where C#grass is green and Elife is good
Don't G#mneed no help to Bbait a hookC#,
I can do it myEself
[Chorus]
If that ain't G#mcountry I don't know what Bis
Been bumping Johnny C#Cash since I was a little Ekid
Swung a lot of G#mrope swings out in the Bsunny
Living on C#fun when there wasn't no Emoney
Drinking sweet G#mtea with some lemon on the Bside
Momma screaming out the C#screen door, "Come on inEside"
A pan of fried G#mchicken dipping in the Bhoney

We play hide and G#mseek in the corn
And we Bdance when it pours
Building C#forts way up high in the Emaple trees
Bow our G#mheads when we pray
"Yes Bma'am," is what we say
Sewing C#bandanas patching up our Eholy jeans
I G#mpaint my nails but Bit comes off
From C#jumping cliffs and Eskipping rocks
The G#mmoon is bright, let's Bcatch some frogs C#y'allE  
[Chorus]
If that ain't G#mcountry I don't know what Bis
Been bumping Johnny C#Cash since I was a little Ekid
Swung a lot of G#mrope swings out in the Bsunny
