Well, they say that I`m too country, the way I look and sound.
They wanna to make me over, just a little more uptown.
Say I need to change my image, now tell me what`s that mean.
Don`t they know I`ve got country in my genes?
Well, 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.
I ain`t ashamed to wear what`s been handed down to me.
Lord, I`ve got country in my genes.
I`ve 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 country song to sing.
Lord, I`ve got country in my genes.
Oh that Earl Scruggs.
If country`s hit the big time, me, I`m still the same.
I ain`t above my raisin` and I ain`t about to change.
I wouldn`t trade my Wranglers for the finest gaberdine.
Lord, I`ve got country in my genes.
I`ve 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 country song to sing.
Lord, I`ve got country in my genes.
I`ve 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 an old Kentucky hillybilly with a country song to sing.
Lord, I`ve got country in my genes.
Lord, I`ve got country in my genes.
