[Intro]

G F C G
 
[Verse 1]
G                                                 F
People talkin' 'bout what is and what ain't country
      C                                           G
What gives 'em a right to wear a pair of beat-up boots?
            G                                                   F
Is it the size of your tires and your fires, or your wild ass buddies?
       C                                                   G
Well, give me a minute, let me hit you with some hometown truth
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                 G
You could be a cowboy on the Texas plain
       F        C
Or a plowboy waitin' on the rain
We're all a little different, but we're all the same
Everybody doin' their own thing
 
[Chorus 1]
          G
I got my dirt road cred when I was 12
         F
On a no-cab tractor hauling them bales
 C
Backing in boats, fishing limb-lines
G                                 C
Running bird dogs through the Georgia pines
G
Step side covered down in peanut dust
 F
Friday night spotlight'n, that was us
         C
It might not've been you, but I ain't judging
C                                  G     F C G F
Just be proud of what makes you country
 
[Verse 2]
        G
Does it run in your blood?
                                  F
Did it come from your daddy and mama?
          C                                    G
Were you converted by an Alabama song on the radio?
That feels so right
         G                                             F
Did you lock eyes with a little green-eyed girl from Jackson?
 C                                  G
Tell me what got ya, I just gotta know
 
[Chorus 2]
                G
Me, I got my Sunday learning in a live oak church
 F
Silver Queen corn in the backyard dirt
C
Waiting for the fall to finally come along
   G                              C
So I can grab my gun and get my outside on
G
Step side covered down in peanut dust
F
Friday night spotlight'n, that was us
          C
It might not've been you, but I ain't judging
                                  G
Just be proud of what makes you country
 
[Bridge]
       G
Might be from a city or a little farm town
 F
Whatever kind of square that you drove around
        C
Do you wear it on your sleeve or keep it deep down?
You know you gotta let it out
 
[Chorus 1]
          G
I got my dirt road cred back when I was 12
         F
On a no-cab tractor hauling them bales
 C
Backing in boats, fishing limb-lines
G                                 C
Running bird dogs through the Georgia pines
G
Step side covered down in peanut dust
 F
Friday night spotlight'n, that was us
         C
It might not've been you, but I ain't judging
C                                  G     F C G F
Just be proud of what makes you country
 
[Outro]
G
You do your kinda country
F
They doing they kind of country
C
I do my kind of country
G         C            G
Whatever makes us country
