Country Is… (Far Out West Sessions) Songtext
von Flatland Cavalry

I wouldn′t exactly say that I'm a honky-tonker
I′ve been known to holler holler too
I don't own a horse or wear a Stetson
But a steel guitar paints this old heart a shade of cowboy blue

Some folks say that ain't country
I smile and let ′em in on the truth
Don′t rely on first impressions
Country is what country means to you

Where I come from, it's a certain kind of livin′
It's the love you give that makes you a man
Country ain′t some kind of accent
It's "ma′am, we're Texans, we got us a fiddle in the band"


Some folks say that ain't country
I smile and let ′em in on the truth
Don′t rely on first impressions
Country is what country means to you
Let's play you something country now

Mi padre′s from the desert out in Redford
And we drink a beer with salt and lime
And we serenade our señoritas
Singin' "Mananitas" in three-quarter time

Some folks say that ain′t country
I smile and let 'em in on the truth
Don′t rely on first impressions
Country is what country means to you
Don't rely on first impressions
Country is what country means to you
Country is what country means to you
