C#
I grew up south of the Mason Dixon

B
Workin' spittin' huntin' and fishin'
F#                                             C#
Stone cold country by the grace of God

C#
I was gasin' up the other day
B
And an ol' boy pulled up with a license plate
F#                                             C#
From Ohio I thought of good lord he's lost
B                         F#
From his wranglers to his boots
B                        C#
He reminded me of Chris LeDoux
B                    F#
And that Copenhagen smile

B    
Country must be country wide
C#
In every state
B
There's a station
F#
Playin' Cash, Hank, Willie, and Waylon
C#                  B            F#
In foreign cars and four wheel drives

C#                     B 
There's cowboys and hillbillies
F#
From farm towns to big cities
B                          F#
There ain't no doubt in my mind

Country must be country wide

C#
It ain't where
It's how you live
B
We weren't raised to take
We were raised to give
F#
The shirt off our back
To anyone in need

C#
We bow our heads before we eat
B
Before we start our day
Before we fall asleep
           F#
'Cause in god we trust and we believe
B                 F#
And we see what's wrong
B                C#
And we know what's right

B                 F#
And ol' Hank he said it all
B 
When he said country folks can survive
