Well, they say that I'm too country
The way I look and sound
They wanna make me over,
Just a little more uptown.
Say I need to change my image,
Now tell me what that means.
Don't they know I've got country in my genes !

I can't help the way I talk,
I wouldn't change it if I could.
Sophisticated ain't my style,
But country fits me good.
And I ain't ashamed for wearing what's been handed down to me
Oh Lord, I've got country in my genes

I got country in my genes,
Country in my blood.
It goes back generations,
It's something I'm proud of.
It's something I was born with,
What you get is what you see.
I'm just an old hillybilly with a bluegrass song to sing.
Oh Lord, I've got country in my genes !

If country's hit the big time, me I'm still the same,
And I ain't above my raisin't and I ain't about to change.
I wouldn't trade my Wranglers for the finest gaberdine.
Oh Lord, I've got country in my genes !

I got country in my genes !
Country in my blood !
It goes back generations,
It's something I'm proud of.
It's something I was born with,
What you get is what you see.
I'm just an old hillybilly with a bluegrass song to sing !
Oh Lord, I've got country in my genes !
Oh Lord, I've got country in my genes !
