WAY BACK UP
IN THE COUNTRY
BACK IN THE HILLS
DOWN IN THE HOLLOWS
WHERE THE FOLKS
ARE REAL
LIVIN' WITH THE CRAZIES
AND THE OL' OUTCASTS
SAWED-OFF SHOTGUNS
AND COONSKIN CAPS
THAT'S WHERE I'M FROM
AND I'M PROUD TO SAY
I'M FROM THE COUNTRY
AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY
EVERYBODY
KNOWS EVERYBODY
EVERYBODY
CALLS YOU FRIEND
YOU DON'T NEED
AN INVITATION
KICK OFF YOUR SHOES
COME ON IN
YEAH WE KNOW
HOW TO WORK
AND WE KNOW
HOW TO PLAY
WE'RE FROM
THE COUNTRY AND
WE LIKE IT THAT WAY
ALL DAY LONG
WE WORK IN THE FIELD
I BRING IT ON HOME TO
A HOME-COOKED MEAL
WE LOVE YOU
LIKE SUNDAY
TREAT YOU LIKE
SATURDAY NIGHT
AND WHEN THE
BEDS GET FULL
WE CAN SLEEP IN THE HAY
WE'RE FROM
THE COUNTRY AND
WE LIKE IT THAT WAY
EVERYBODY
KNOWS EVERYBODY
EVERYBODY
CALLS YOU FRIEND
YOU DON'T NEED
AN INVITATION
KICK OFF YOUR SHOES
COME ON IN
YEAH WE KNOW
HOW TO WORK
AND WE KNOW
HOW TO PLAY
WE'RE FROM
THE COUNTRY AND
WE LIKE IT THAT WAY
EVERYBODY
KNOWS EVERYBODY
EVERYBODY
CALLS YOU FRIEND
YOU DON'T NEED
AN INVITATION
KICK OFF YOUR SHOES
COME ON IN
