What Country Is

There's a house fly swimming in my sweet tea
Hey darling pass another Kerr jar to me
Butter drippin off a biscuit, baby better take a bite
Cantaloupe thumps like it's finally ripe
Box fan on a lawn chair suckin' in swamp air
200 mile marker signs from nowhere
That's what country is
It ain't a rebel flag you bought at the mall
Its a hideaway bed in an old horse stall
Two kids gettin' caught stealin' a Boone's farm kiss
It ain't a John Deere cap tha'ts never fell in the cotton
It's a Jimmy Rodgers song that was long forgotten
It's homemade peach ice cream on sun burnt lips
That's what country is
When the sun starts slippin' from the delta sky
And the last scarecrow tucks in for the night
Make a fire throw a blanket on the sandy bank
Bout an hour til we fill the first cat fish yank
Barefoot cane pole wavin' at the riverboats
And when they're gone take a dip in the moon glow
That's what country is
It ain't a rebel flag you bought at the mall
Its a hideaway bed in an old horse stall
Two kids gettin caught stealin a Boone's farm kiss
It ain't a John Deere cap thats never fell in the cotton
Its a Jimmy Rodgers song that was long forgotten
Its homemade peach ice cream on sun burnt lips
That's what country is
It ain't a jacked up truck that's never seen a pasture
It's cars pulling over for an no cab tractor
Its home made peach ice cream on sun burnt lips
No it can't be bought, its somethin' your born with
That's what country is
That's what country is
That's what country is
That's what country is
