  • Have you ever picked guitar on your front porch
    In the morning as the sun was risin'?
    Or followed your dog down to the river
    And ran into an ole' baptizin'?
    Do you think to pull off on the side of the road
    When that big black hearse is passing?
    Have you ever helped someone in need
    Without them even asking?
    We do that in the country,
    Let me tell you 'bout country

    Country can be in the middle of a city
    Country can be on a farm,
    Country ain't even a place on the map,
    It's a place in your heart

    Would you ever hitched a ride to Music City
    Just to see an Opry show?
    Would you drive across the country
    Just to listen to some country?

    Country can be in the middle of a city
    Country can be on a farm,
    Country ain't even a place on the map,
    It's a place in your heart.

    Have you ever been there at the courthouse square
    For the parade on the 'Fourth of July'?
    With a tear on your face and a lump in your throat
    As you watch ole' glory go by,
    Or sat thru a service where they played tabs
    For a soldier who never came home?
    Or looked in the sad brown eyes of his momma
    As she touched his name on that stone?
    He fought for his country
    And died for his country
    Yeah I love my country

    Let me tell you 'bout, country. Writer/s: BILL ANDERSON, BOBBY TOMBERLIN, MO PITNEY
