Bo Bice - Take The Country Outta Me lyrics

rate me

I grew up on Merle Haggard, ZZ Top and CDB

And if that Freebird wasn’t soarin

Y’all would have never heard of me

Turn up Bocephus on the radio

Marshall Tucker now can’t you see

Chorus:

You can take me out the country

But you’ll never take the country out of me

Can’t go a day without Waylon Jennings

And the red haired stranger’s on mind

Johnny Cash and Jimmy Rogers

JJ Cale and old John Prine

My Sweet Melissa keeps on callin’

Take a load off Annalee

I ain’t never been to Heaven

But I hear it’s just the same as Tennessee

(Solo)

Now my face might seem familiar

You see me smiling on T.V.

They might take me out to L.A.

But they’ll never take sweet Dixieland from me

They might take me out the country

But they’ll never take the country out of me

If you didn’t know that I was country

Alabama’s always home to me
