A Little More Country Than That
Embracing Country Roots: A Journey Through Small Towns and Old Hound Tales
Lyrics
Imagine a dirt road full of pot holes
Describing a rough dirt road with potholes.
With a creek bank and some cane poles
Imagining a scene by a creek with fishing equipment.
Catching channel cat
Engaging in the activity of catching channel catfish.
I'm a little more country than that
Expressing a preference for a rural, country lifestyle.
Picture a small town with an old hound
Visualizing a small town with a lazy dog in front of the courthouse.
Laying out front of the court house
Depicting a laid-back atmosphere in a town.
While the old men chew the fat
Old men engaging in casual conversation.
I'm a little more country than that
Reiterating the preference for a country lifestyle.
I just want to make sure you know just who you're getting under, this old hat
Emphasizing the importance of transparency in a relationship.
Cause girl I'm not the kind of two time or play games behind your back
Expressing commitment and honesty in relationships.
I'm a little more country than that
Reaffirming a commitment to a country lifestyle and values.
Think of a hank song from days gone
Recalling a classic country song by Hank Williams.
With a steel ride that's so strong
Describing the emotional impact of a powerful steel guitar in a song.
It sends chills up your back
Evoking a strong emotional response from music.
I'm a little more country than that
Expressing a deep connection to traditional country music.
If you want a brick home in a school zone
Contrasting with the desire for a simple, country lifestyle.
With the doors locked and alarms on
Rejecting the idea of a secure, urban lifestyle.
Girl, you're way off track
Indicating a deviation from the desired country lifestyle.
I'm a little more country than that
Reiterating the commitment to a country lifestyle.
I just want to make sure you know just who you're getting under this old hat
Stressing the importance of understanding one another.
Cause girl I'm not the kind of two time or play games behind your back
Reiterating commitment and honesty in relationships.
I'm a little more country than that
Emphasizing a strong identification with country values.
Yeah, I'm sure that you've heard those three words from others
Acknowledging the commonality of hearing "I love you."
But they fell flat
Expressing skepticism about the sincerity of those words.
But this ring ain't something that I mean to give you
Affirming the seriousness and commitment behind a given ring.
And then take back
Rejecting the idea of giving and then taking back a commitment symbolized by a ring.
I'm a little more country than that
Reiterating a strong connection to country values and lifestyle.
I'm a little more country than that
Affirming a steadfast commitment to a country identity.
I'm a little more country than that
Reaffirming the country identity and values.
