D 
I grew up south of the Mason Dixon 
 
Cadd9 
Workin' spittin' huntin' and fishin' 
G                                             D 
Stone cold country by the grace of God 
 
D 
I was gasin' up the other day 
Cadd9 
And an ol' boy pulled up with a license plate 
G                                             D 
From Ohio I thought of good lord he's lost 
Cadd9                     G 
From his wranglers to his boots 
Cadd9                    D 
He reminded me of Chris LeDoux 
Cadd9                G 
And that Copenhagen smile 
 
Cadd9 
Country must be country wide 
D 
In every state 
Cadd9 
There's a station 
G 
Playin' Cash, Hank, Willie, and Waylon 
D                  Cadd9        G 
In foreign cars and four wheel drives 
 
D                     Cadd9 
There's cowboys and hillbillies 
G 
From farm towns to big cities 
Cadd9                      G 
There ain't no doubt in my mind 
 
Country must be country wide 
 
D 
It ain't where 
It's how you live 
Cadd9 
We weren't raised to take 
We were raised to give 
G 
The shirt off our back 
To anyone in need 
 
D 
We bow our heads before we eat 
Cadd9 
Before we start our day 
Before we fall asleep 
           G 
'Cause in god we trust and we believe 
Cadd9            G 
And we see what's wrong 
Cadd9            D 
And we know what's right 
 
Cadd9             G 
And ol' Hank he said it all 
Cadd9 
When he said country folks can survive 
 
Chorus (2x)
