country to the bone

Verse 1

I could give up the whiskey

Drink nothin' but beer

Go from wild turkey to white-tail deer

Ain't gonna lie, I'd be lonesome

But I'd still be country to the bone

Verse 2

I could cut out my good friends

Cut my circle in half

Start hangin' out with city folk, wouldn't that be bad?

You know I'd be dyin' inside, but I'd be hangin' on

'Cause I'd still be country to the bone

Chorus

To the bone

Like a hound dog on a rabbit

A cowboy on a saddle

A man that needs a woman,

Like the Mississippi River runnin' all the way down

Country music makin' me wanna sing out loud

Just like the good Lord made me, you can't change me

No, you can't change me

Verse 3

You could take my guns

Get me clean-cut and clean

I'd still be a cowboy down deep

You know I'd be missin' my down home and my outlaw's songs

But I'd still be country to the bone

Chorus

To the bone

Like a hound dog on a rabbit

A cowboy on a saddle

A man that needs a woman,

Like the Mississippi River runnin' all the way down

Country music makin' me wanna sing out loud

Just like the good Lord made me, you can't change me

No, you can't change me
