It's where you never call a preacher by his first name
It's always yes ma'am, no sir, please and thanks
It's where real men cry, and real men pray
And don't drink their worries down the drain
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not all trucks and beer
At least not 'round here
[Chorus]
Well the country that I know
Ain't gettin' drunk and fightin'
It's lovin' like we're dying
When rubber meets the road
Yeah, the country that I know
Ain't just another party
It's family, friends, but in God we trust the most
And when things get tough that's when we grow
Yeah that's the country that I know
That's the country that I know
When a neighbor's broke supper's on the way
And when a car breaks down somebody saves the day
When a soldier dies and their family's in pain
A folded flag is there and so are we
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
It's been so long since I've been down
That old dirt road to that little town
Brings a tear to my eye just thinkin' 'bout
The country that I know
The country that I know
[Chorus]
