Take The Country Outta Me Lyrics

Bo Bice

I grew up on Merle Haggard, ZZ Top and CDB
And if that Freebird wasnÂ't soarin
YÂ'all would have never heard of me
Turn up Bocephus on the radio
Marshall Tucker now canÂ't you see

Chorus:
You can take me out the country
But youÂ'll never take the country out of me

CanÂ't go a day without Waylon Jennings
And the red haired strangerÂ's on mind
Johnny Cash and Jimmy Rogers
JJ Cale and old John Prine
My Sweet Melissa keeps on callinÂ'

Take a load off Annalee

I ainÂ't never been to Heaven
But I hear itÂ'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 theyÂ'll never take sweet Dixieland from me
They might take me out the country
But theyÂ'll never take the country out of me
If you didnÂ't know that I was country
AlabamaÂ's always home to me
