It's a six-string strumming, three chords and the truth
It's Tennessee whiskey going down smooth
It's a jukebox glowing in a neon light
It's a nowhere, small town, Saturday night
That's country music
That's why we do it
It hits the heart and soul
And just feels right
That's country music
It pulls us through it
It's the ups and the downs
The soundtrack of our lives
That's country music
It's an '82 Chevy on an old backroad
It's an open door, it's a welcome home
It's a late night moonlight, long first kiss
It's a "never felt a heartbreak like this"
That's country music
That's why we do it
It hits the heart and soul
And just feels right
That's country music
It pulls us through it
It's the ups and the downs
The soundtrack of our lives
Yeah, that's country music
It's a pair of worn out cowboy boots
It's a don't forget your hometown roots
It's grand-dad saying "I had a good ride"
It's a folded flag as you say "Goodbye"
That's country music
That's country music
That's country music
That's why we do it
It hits the heart and soul
And just feels right
That's country music
It pulls us through it
It's the ups and the downs
The soundtrack of our lives
That's country music
That's country music
It's Cash, Dolly, Haggard and Jones
It's the songs we'll sing when we get old
That's country music
That's country music
