lyrics

I'm what you call a city slicker
Tall buildings concrete leads me everywhere
Now I never cared much for hunting and fishing
Til I filled my lungs with that sweet
Tennessee air

Where everybody's proud to be country
From the hills of old virginny
To the stars over alabam
Everybody's proud to be country
And if you're country and you're proud
Won't you raise your hand

Now we got trains
They call em subways
Everybody's cramming and fighting
Just to find a seat
Now I wanna ride them trains d hank sang about
Over the mountains through the valleys
Into the sea

Where everybody's proud to be country
From the hills of old virginny
To the stars over alabam
Everybody's proud to be country
And if you're country and you're proud
Won't you raise your hand

Now I had some good times
Between New York and LA
That knife in my back
It didn't hurt in any way
Sometimes I just don't know where I belong
I close my eyes strum this guitar
And it sings me back home to

Where everybody's proud to be country
From the hills of old virginny
To the stars over alabam
Everybody's proud to be country
And if you're country and you're proud
Won't you raise your hand

Everybody's proud to be country
From the California farm hands
To those dry Texas Lands
Everybody's proud to be country
And if you're country and you're proud
Won't you raise your hand
