You're Country...If....



If you love beer brats and tater tots,                           
busty blondes in tank tops lookin’ hot,
monster trucks, mud bogs, and pop tops…
I reckon you might be country!

If you love beef jerky and talkin’ turkey
with purty  girls lookin’ all perky,
whitlin’, and huntin’ with a 30-30,
I reckon that means you’re country!

If you love Willie and Merle and Dolly World,
Lester Flat and Earl and Minnie Pearl,
and vanilla cones with that little curl,
I know that means you’re country!

Cause bein’ country’s more than talkin’
Bein’ country’s more than walkin’
Bein’ country means you give a shit…
That’s It!  You’re Country!

If you’re country born and country bred
from the soles of your feet to the top of your head,
hickory tough and corn fed, then like I said,
Hallelujah Lord, you’re country!
