I Ain't Country
Rural Roots Resonance: Embracing Country Living in 'I Ain't Country'
Lyrics
I got a big truck, I got a duck dog
I own a large truck and have a hunting dog.
I got a can of Copenhagen in my back pocket
I carry a can of Copenhagen, a smokeless tobacco, in my back pocket.
Got a bunch of land out in the backwoods
I possess a significant amount of land in rural areas.
Y'all welcome to the farm, that's my neighborhood
I welcome everyone to the farm, as it is my community.
I'm a product of my raising in a small town
I am a product of my upbringing in a small, lesser-known town.
That I bet you never heard about
There are aspects of my town that you probably aren't familiar with.
You can say I'm just a redneck down in Tennessee
Some may label me as a rural person in Tennessee.
A beer drinking, country singing, SOB
I am a person who enjoys beer, sings country songs, and can be a bit rough.
Fire burning, hardworking, don't ever quit
I am diligent, with a strong work ethic that never falters.
Boot wearing, bible swearing, red clay kid
I wear boots, swear by the Bible, and come from a region with red clay soil.
Call me what you want, think what you want of me
Feel free to call me whatever you want or think what you will about me.
But you damn sure can't say that I ain't country, yeah
But you certainly cannot deny that I embody the essence of being country.
Grew up on AJ and a back road
I grew up listening to AJ (possibly referring to a country artist) and enjoying rural roads.
Don't have to be hunting something, wearing camo
I don't have to hunt or wear camouflage to be considered country.
Yeah, I support the troops, bleed red, white, and blue
I strongly support the military and am patriotic.
Raise hell, praise Dale, that's the damn truth
I live my life in a way that reflects the truth and values associated with Dale Earnhardt.
You can say I'm just a redneck down in Tennessee
Similar to line 8, reiterating the portrayal of a rural person in Tennessee.

Fire burning, hardworking, don't ever quit
Reaffirmation of being hardworking and persistent.
A boot wearing, bible swearing, red clay kid

Call me what you want, think what you want of me
Reiterating the indifference to others' opinions about oneself.
But you damn sure can't say that I ain't country
Undeniable assertion that, regardless of opinions, I epitomize the country lifestyle.
