Country in My Genes
Embrace Your Roots: Country in My Genes
Lyrics
Well, they say that I'm too country, the way I look and sound.
People criticize me for appearing and sounding too country.
They wanna to make me over, just a little more uptown.
They want to change my appearance to be more sophisticated.
Say I need to change my image, now tell me what's that mean.
They suggest altering my public perception, questioning what changes that might entail.
Don't they know I've got country in my genes?
I inherently possess country traits that are part of my identity.
Well, I can't help the way I talk, I wouldn't change it if I could.
I cannot control the way I speak, and I have no desire to change it.
Sophisticated ain't my style, but country fits me good.
I am not inclined towards sophistication; being country suits me well.
I ain't ashamed to wear what's been handed down to me.
I'm proud to wear things that have been passed down in my family.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.
My roots are deeply embedded in country traditions.
I've got country in my genes, country in my blood.
My country identity runs through my family history and heritage.
It goes back generations. It's something I'm proud of.
Being country is a longstanding tradition that brings me pride.
It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see.
My country nature is innate; I am genuine and authentic.
I'm just an old hillybilly with a country song to sing.
I'm a rural person with a simple country tune to share.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.
My roots in country living are a fundamental part of me.
If country's hit the big time, me, I'm still the same.
Despite changes in the country music industry, I remain true to myself.
I ain't above my raisin' and I ain't about to change.
I won't abandon my upbringing, and I won't alter who I am.
I wouldn't trade my Wranglers for the finest gaberdine.
I value my simple clothing more than expensive attire.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.
My country roots are more important to me than fashionable clothing.
I've got country in my genes, country in my blood.
My connection to country living spans generations and defines me.
It goes back generations. It's something I'm proud of.
It's a heritage that I deeply honor and cherish.
It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see.
My country identity is inherent, and I'm unapologetically myself.
I'm just an old hillybilly with a country song to sing.
I'm a rural person with a simple country tune to share.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.
I embrace my country roots and heritage.
I've got country in my genes, country in my blood.
My lineage and essence are deeply rooted in country traditions.
It goes back generations. It's something I'm proud of.
This heritage is something I take immense pride in.
It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see.
I am authentic and transparent, what you see is who I am.
I'm an old Kentucky hillybilly with a country song to sing.
I'm a person from Kentucky with a country-oriented song to share.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.
I'm proudly rooted in my country upbringing.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.
Reiteration of the pride in having a country identity.
