Well, they say that I'm too country, the way I look and sound They wanna to make me over, just a little more uptown Say I need to change my image, now tell me what's that means Don't they know I got country in my genes?
I can't help the way I talk, I wouldn't change it if I could Sophisticated ain't my style, but country fits me good And I ain't ashamed for wearing what's been handed down to me Oh Lord, I got country in my genes
I got country in my genes, country in my blood It goes back generations, it's something I'm proud of It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see I'm just an old hillbilly with a (country) song to sing Oh Lord, I got country in my genes
If country's hit the big time, me I'm still the same And I ain't above my raisin' and I ain't about to change And I wouldn't trade my Wranglers for the finest gabardine Oh Lord, I got country in my genes
I got country in my genes, country in my blood It goes back generations, it's something I'm proud of It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see I'm just an old hillbilly with a (country) song to sing Oh Lord, I got country in my genes
