I was raised on the river on the Indiana line Learned all the ways a country boy can survive With a shotgun, rifle and a four wheel drive That's right I've rode the honky tonk highway north to south Seen some down home folks in a big city crowd So if you're worried this way of life's dying out I can tell you right now Country ain't going nowhere, ain't going no where, no way, no how I can guaren-damn-tee them boys like me are always gonna be around You can take the boots out the mud Pour the beer out the can Take the hitch off the truck Kick the fiddle out the band The stars out the sky Take the dirt off the roads But I'll tell you one place country ain't gonna go Country ain't going nowhere, ain't going nowhere, no way, no how Country ain't going nowhere Country ain't going nowhere Small towns turning into big towns turning red dirt into parking lots Boondocks turning into blacktop turning backroads into four way stops If you didn't know no better You'd see them cities growing up and you'd start to think This redneck blue collar bust your back for a dollar simple life's sitting on E But country ain't goin nowhere, ain't going no where, no way, no how I can guaren-damn-tee them boys like me are always gonna be around You can take the boots out the mud Pour the beer out the can Take the hitch off the truck Kick the fiddle out the band The stars out the sky Take the dirt off the roads But I'll tell you one place country ain't gonna go Country ain't going nowhere, ain't going nowhere, no way, no how Country ain't going nowhere Country ain't going nowhere Country ain't going nowhere, ain't going no where, no way, no how I can guaren-damn-tee them boys like me are always gonna be around You can take the boots out the mud Pour the beer out the can Take the hitch off the truck Kick the fiddle out the band The stars out the sky Take the dirt off the roads But I'll tell you one place country ain't gonna go Country ain't going nowhere, ain't going nowhere, no way, no how Country ain't going nowhere Country ain't going nowhere Country ain't going nowhere, ain't going nowhere, no way, no how Country ain't going nowhere
