I drive a compact SUV with a (street ford) engine inside
And I think the Union won the war
But I respect your pride.
And I don't chew tobacco
But, man, I'll drink your beer
I was born up above the Dixie line
And I ended up down here
I'm not country but I like the country
I know where I'm from
When I hear your songs on the radio
I start having fun
I'm so down with deep fried chicken
Jesus saved my soul
Yeah I'm a Northern City boy
And this ain't rock and roll
I don't like watching NASCAR
But God bless the number 3
I cheer on the Pittsburgh Steelers
I don't watch the SEC
I don't shot guns or ride horses
But I'll give 'em both a try
If Johnny Cash ever heard this song
I bet he'd start to cry
I'm not country but I like the country
I know where I'm from
When I hear your songs on the radio
I start having fun
I'm so down with deep fried chicken
Jesus saved my soul
Yeah I'm a Northern City boy
And this ain't rock and roll
No ooh oh
I like pretty southern belles
And I like to take things slow but
My cousins are NYPDs
And I can drive in the snow
Yeah I grew up playing in the dirt up where it ain't red
And I got one pair of cowboy boots
But they ain't going to my head
I'm not country but I like the country
I know where I'm from
I'm not saying I'm the real deal
When I hear your songs on the radio
I like the way I feel
I'm so down with deep fried chicken
Jesus saved my soul
Yeah I'm a Northern City boy
But this ain't, no this ain't rock and roll,
This ain't rock and roll ohh oh oh
Here we go
