There's a cross on the church
I can see from the highway
Tells me I'm miles away
From the backroads that I grew up on
Where that Birmingham high school band
Played We Will Rock You up in the stands
And Sunday's with the family
'Round the table, every week

You can take the wildflowers
And the Main Street memories
But down in my heart is where they'll always be

'Cause I can't help my country soul
Lord knows, I love me some sweet magnolia
Words that drip real slow like honey
Always take me home

Raised on Dolly, raised on Charley
And strawberry wine
Between the roots underneath my feet
And God above me
I swear, I can't help my country
Mm, I can't help my country

It's a smile, it's a wave when you're passing a stranger
It's a long talk on a front porch swing
It's a "Yes, ma'am" and a "Come on in, y'all"
Speak my mind, make my mom and daddy proud
If you've got something to sing, girl
You better sing it loud
It's the where I'm from and what I'm all about, oh

'Cause I can't help my country soul
Lord knows, I love me some sweet magnolia
Words that drip real slow like honey
Always take me home

Raised on Dolly, raised on Charley
And strawberry wine
Between the roots underneath my feet
And God above me
I swear, I can't help my country

'Cause I can't help my country soul
I sure love me some sweet magnolia
Words that drip real slow like honey
Always take me home

Raised on Dolly, raised on Charley
And strawberry wine
Between the roots underneath my feet
And God above me
I can't help the way it makes my heart beat
I can't help my country

My southern drawl, can't turn it off
I'm made of sunshine and a backroad
If you can't tell, I just can't help
Can't help my country
