Country Down To My Soul Lyrics

Lee Roy Parnell Country Down To My Soul

Cruisin' New York City in the back of this limousine
Spendin' my hard-earned money like it grows on trees
You're an uptown girl
Mighty easy on the eye
But if you think that I' big city
Then you're in for a big surprise

Now listen little darlin' there's some things you need
to know about me
I like grits and gravy, hot tamales, black-eyed peas
Wakin' up at first daylight, headin' for a fishin' hole
You might catch me rockin' but
I'm Country down to my soul

Well I rolled into town playing guitar in a hillbilly
band
You like our rockin' rhythm
You say it makes you want to dance
Just because I like to turn it up and play a little too
loud
Don't think for a minute I don't fit in with the honky
tonk crowd

Now listen little darlin' there's some things you need
to know about me
I like grits and gravy, hot tamales, black-eyed peas
Jumpin' in my truck for a ride headin' down some old
back road
You might catch me rockin' but
I'm Country down to my soul

Yes Ma'am I come from Texas
I'm mighty proud of my roots
I don't wear a hat but I got forty pair of cowboy boots
Me and Bob Wills used to sing the San Antonio Rose
That's where I learned to swing it girl
I'm Country down to my soul

Now listen little darlin' there's some things you need
to know about me
I like grits and gravy, hot tamales, black-eyed peas
Layin' on a blanket at night watchin' the stars put on
a show
You might catch me rockin' but
I'm Country down to my soul

You might catch me rockin' but
I'm Country down to my soul
Now that's Country
