Can't Hide Country

It won't take you long to figure me out

I go give it away when I open my mouth

This southern drawl rings clear as day

Lord knows I can't be something I ain't

I got a good ole hound who eats what I don't

He lays on the front porch and stares down the dirt road

My home smells of biscuits and blueberry jam

What you see is what you get, it's just who I am

You can't hide country

No, you can't hide country

It's so obvious, it ain't even funny

Lord, you can't hide country

Now some folks get too big for their britches

They think their high above this simple way a living

As if you could throw out country like a pair of old boots

But before too long they learn the truth

'Cause you could shine yourself up like a new penny

Or pack your bags and move off to the city

But country ain't about where you are

Country lives deep within your heart

Oh, you can't hide country

No, you can't hide country

It's so obvious, it ain't even funny

Lord, you can't hide country, no

Yeah, those roots run as deep as the mountains are high

Ain't no digging 'em up, so honey why would you try

To hide where you're from, who you are, can't you see

It'll rear up its head, oh, you better believe

You can't hide country

No, you can't hide country

It's so obvious, it ain't even funny

Lord, you can't hide country

No, you can't hide country

No, you can't
