What Makes You Country

[Intro] G  F  C  G
        G  F  C  G  F  C

[First Part]

G                              
People talkin' 'bout what is and 
                   F
what ain't country
      C                         
What gives 'em a right to wear a 
                  G
pair of beat-up boots?
            G                   
Is it the size of your tires and 
your fires, or your wild ass 
   F
buddies?
       C                           
Well, give me a minute, let me hit 
                        G
you with some hometown truth

[Pre-Chorus]

                 G
You could be a cowboy on the Texas 
plain
       F
Or a plowboy waitin' on the rain
C
We're all a little different, but 
we're all the same
G
Everybody doin' their own thing

[Chorus 1]

          G
I got my dirt road cred when I was 
12
         F
On a no-cab tractor hauling them 
bales
 C
Backing in boats, fishing limb-lines
G                           
Running bird dogs through the 
      F     C
Georgia pines
G
Step side covered down in peanut 
dust
 F
Friday night spotlight'n, that was 
us
Continues after the ad

     C
It might not've been you, but I 
ain't judging
C                             
Just be proud of what makes you 
     G     F  C  G  F  C
country

[Second Part]

        G
Does it run in your blood?
Did it come from your daddy and 
  F
mama?
          C                     
Were you converted by an Alabama 
               G
song on the radio?
That feels so right
         G                     
Did you lock eyes with a little 
                        F
green-eyed girl from Jackson?
 C                               
Tell me what got ya, I just gotta 
   G
know

[Chorus 2]

                G
Me, I got my Sunday learning in a 
live oak church
 F
Silver Queen corn in the backyard 
dirt
C
Waiting for the fall to finally come
 along
   G                           
So I can grab my gun and get my 
   F      C
outside on
G
Step side covered down in peanut 
dust
F
Friday night spotlight'n, that was 
us
          C
It might not've been you, but I 
ain't judging
Just be proud of what makes you 
  G
country

[Bridge]

       G
Might be from a city or a little 
farm town
 F
Whatever kind of square that you 
drove around
        C
Do you wear it on your sleeve or 
keep it deep down?
You know you gotta let it out

[Chorus 1]

          G
I got my dirt road cred back when I 
was 12
         F
On a no-cab tractor hauling them 
bales
 C
Backing in boats, fishing limb-lines
G                           
Running bird dogs through the 
     F    C
Georgia pines
G
Step side covered down in peanut 
dust
 F
Friday night spotlight'n, that was 
us
 C
It might not've been you, but I 
ain't judging
C                             
Just be proud of what makes you 
     G     F  C  G  F
country

[Outro]

G
You do your kinda country
F
They doing they kind of country
C
I do my kind of country
G         C            G
Whatever makes us country
