As Country as She Gets
Embracing Country Love's Quirks
Lyrics
She hates goin' anywhere in my old truck
She dislikes riding in my old truck
She says: It's always muddy and it rides so rough
She finds the truck muddy and uncomfortable
And there ain't no graceful way to climb up in a dress
It's awkward for her to get into the truck in a dress
Yeah, I'm about as country as she gets
The singer acknowledges his country lifestyle compared to hers
I might get her on the lake to fish with me
He might convince her to fish with him if conditions are ideal
If the water's smooth and the sky is blue, with a nice cool breeze
Requires a calm lake, clear sky, and a pleasant breeze
But anything we catch, I'll have to clean myself
He will handle cleaning any fish they catch
"Cause I'm about as country as she gets
Reiterates the singer's country lifestyle in contrast to hers
She'll slip off a pair of heels
She can be down-to-earth, comfortable in less formal settings
Walk barefoot across the field
Illustrates her willingness to adapt by walking barefoot
Climb up on a fence just to be near me
She goes out of her way to be close to him
Sometimes I think that horse still scares her half to death
There's a hint of fear in her interactions with a horse
Yeah, I'm about as country as she gets
Reaffirms the singer's country lifestyle
She likes bein' within spendin' distance of a mall
She appreciates urban amenities and connectivity
Havin' enough bars to make a cell phone call
Having access to cell phone signal is important to her
Put her in a crowd and she's right in her element
She enjoys being in a crowd, comfortable in social situations
Yeah, I'm about as country as she gets
Highlights the contrast between their lifestyles
But she'll slip out on the porch sometimes
She joins him on the porch during specific moments
When that sun's low in the sky
Describes the serene time when the sun is setting
Pull up a rockin' chair just to be with me
She values spending quiet moments with him
Until that first big June bug buzzes by her head
Her peace is disrupted by a buzzing June bug
See I'm about as country as she gets
Reiterates the singer's country lifestyle and her occasional participation
Yeah, I'm about as country as she gets
Emphasizes the singer's country identity
She hates goin' anywhere in my old truck
Reiteration of her discomfort with the singer's old truck
