Michael Ray - Didn't Know I Was Country lyrics

[Verse 1] Guess it was all in my head I thought all dirt was red "Yes Sir, Yes Ma'am" Was something everyone said You drove a Chevy or Ford And every house had a porch With a old bird dog Sleeping by the screen door [Chorus] I didn't I was a way back in the pines Friday night kid I was just cuttin' up like my dad did Thought every boy in the world Put a ring on their high school girl For eighteen years, I didn't know I talked funny Didn't know we were poor, thought we had plenty of money Thought everybody had piece of mind, and a piece of land I didn't know I was country Thank God I am [Verse 2] You went to school to play ball Cranked up some '90s McGraw Thought everybody said gracе, and everybody said "Y'all" (That's right y'all) [Chorus] I didn't I was a way back in the pinеs Friday night kid I was just cuttin' up like my dad did Thought every boy in the world Put a ring on their high school girl For eighteen years, I didn't know I talked funny Didn't know we were poor, thought we had plenty of money Thought everybody had piece of mind, and a piece of land I didn't know I was country Thank God I am [Bridge] It's just the way I thought it was You work a forty-hour week for a cold beer buzz 'Til I hit them city limits I didn't know no different [Chorus] I didn't I was a way back in the pines Friday night kid I was just cuttin' up like my dad did Thought every boy in the world Put a ring on their high school girl For eighteen years, I didn't know I talked funny Didn't know we were poor, thought we had plenty of money Thought everybody had piece of mind, and a piece of land If you'd come from a town like mine, you'd understand I didn't know I was country Thank God I am
