  • (Here we go, yeah)
    (Oh man, you've gotta watch where you're stepping around here)

    Yeah, I got a friend in New York City
    He's never heard of Conway Twitty
    Don't know nothin' about grits and greens
    Never been south of Queens
    But he flew down here on a business trip
    I took him honky tonkin' and that was it
    He took to it like a pig to mud, like a cow to cud

    We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside
    No matter where you from you just can't hide it
    When the band starts bangin' and the fiddle saws
    You can't help but hollerin', yee haw
    When you see them pretty little country queens
    Man, you gotta admit that it's in them jeans
    Ain't nothin' wrong, just gettin' on your
    Hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone

    (Ah, preach about hillbilly to 'em, Blake)
    (Listen to this)

    Nah, you ain't gotta be born out in the sticks
    With an F-150 and a 30-06
    Or have a Bubba in the family tree
    To get on down with me
    Yeah, Bubba, all you need is an open mind
    If it fires you up you gotta let it shine
    When it feels so right that it can't be wrong
    Come on, come on, come on you ain't alone, you ain't alone

    We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside
    No matter where you from you just can't hide
    And when the band starts bangin' and the fiddle saws
    You can't help but hollerin', yee haw
    When you see them pretty little country queens
    Man you gotta admit that it's in them jeans
    Ain't nothin' wrong, just gettin' on your
    Hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone

    (Come on y'all)

    We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside
    No matter where you from you just can't hide
    And when the band starts bangin' and the fiddle saws
    You can't help but hollerin', yee haw
    When you see them pretty little country queens
    Man you gotta admit that's in them jeans
    Ain't nothin' wrong, just gettin' on your
    Hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone
    Hillbilly bone ba-bone ba-bone bone
    Hillbilly bone ba-bone ba-bone bone
    Hillbilly bone ba-bone ba-bone bone

    (Well, there it is)
