Keep It Country Songtext
von Mark Powell

Skinned up knuckles on callused hands
I got a dirty shirt on this farmer′s tan
Half a million miles in this Chevy truck
Been breakin' my back just to make a buck
I been workin′ for the man with some good ol' boys like me
But livin' like this is sure hard to beat

′Cause folks like us are hard to find
We′re a dyin' breed in this day and time
We can′t be bought, so don't go flashin′ money
Keep it real, keep it simple, keep it country


I've taken this livin′ out on the road
And man, it's still a tough road to hold
I got a book of songs and this old guitar
Been playin' every one straight from the heart
But they still don′t understand this life I choose
Some won′t get three chords and the truth

'Cause folks like us are hard to find
We′re a dyin' breed in this day and time
We can′t be bought, so don't go flashin′ money
Keep it real, keep it simple, keep it country

If you ain't scared to work or scared to pray
Speakin' up when there′s somethin′ to say
If you remember where your boots have been
Man, you'll fit right in

′Cause folks like us are hard to find
We're a dyin′ breed in this day and time
We can't be bought, so don′t go flashin' money
Keep it real, keep it simple
Won't you keep it real, keep it simple, keep it country
