Lyrics
To Like Country
You don't have to be redneck to like Country
You don't have to drive a flatbed truck
Or wear cowboy boots 'n' jeans
Read gun magazines
Or think all other music sucks
You don't have to live Stateside to like Country
Or even in the West Hemisphere
Swear allegiance to the flag
Or have been stationed at Fort Bragg
Or always eat pretzels with beer
Chorus
I don't wear a blue collar
I've never said "Y'all"
I don't remember ever crossing the Atlantic at all
Bridge (spoken)
I may never make it to Tennessee
I live in a small UK town
But the one thing that gets me going
Is that lonesome Nashville sound
Verse
You don't have to be outlaw to like Country
You don't have to ever break the law
Never stepped over the line
Not even just one time
Conforming is one of my flaws
Chorus
I don't wear a blue collar
I've never said "Y'all"
I don't remember ever crossing the Atlantic at all
Verse
You don't have to be redneck to like Country
You don't have to drive a flatbed truck
Or wear cowboy boots 'n' jeans
Read gun magazines
Or think all other music sucks
