Story Behind The Song
After listening to the Radio lately and so much of the "Bro Country" music that is playing, with Rap intertwined, I started missing the sound of what I consider Contemporary Country and what got me hooked on Country Music to begin with.

Lyrics
THAT'S WHAT COUNTRY IS
(c)2014 Nick Berry (BMI)
It ain't about drinkin' it up,
In the middle of a wheat field.
It ain't about lift up trucks,
And getting' mud on your wheels.
It's about losing everything you own,
After a Twister tears it down.
It's about everyone helping out,
And rebuilding their home town.
Oh, I tell you now -
(CHORUS): That's what Country is,
True to life.
As real as it gets.
Leaves you saying,
"Man, I've been there to."
No matter what you're
going through.
And at the end of the day,
feeling blessed.
That's what Country,
That's what Country is.
Taking a ride across country,
On a fast moving train.
Bustin' your back,
Tryin' to make a dollar,
And a Farmer praying for rain.
It's about flying that flag,
In your front yard all year long.
It's about saying what you believe in.
And standing strong.
Oh, and holding on - (Chorus)
BRIDGE: It 's when the whole town
shows up,
To welcome a Soldier home.
It's when you've been searching,
And you finally find the
perfect one. - (Chorus)
END: That's what Country,
That's what Country is.
