Lyrics
Do you believe in magic?
Questioning belief in magic
Do you believe in love?
Questioning belief in love
Do you believe there's more
Wondering if there's more to life
Than clouds up above?
Contemplating existence beyond clouds
If the simple life you're living
Reflecting on a simple, satisfying life
Is the life that makes you glad
Finding joy in the simple life
If you could see the good side
Focusing on the positive side in tough times
When everything looks bad
Seeing goodness when everything looks bad
That's country as a rooster on a fence post
Emphasizing the country lifestyle metaphorically
That's country as the golden break of day
Country depicted as the dawn of a new day
And I was brought up dreamin' and believing
Upbringing centered on dreaming and believing
That's country and there ain't no better way
Expressing the belief in country values
That's country as a bullfrog on the river
Country likened to a bullfrog on the river
Country as wagon load of hay
Country symbolized by a wagon load of hay
Sweet peace of mind in church on Sunday morning
Finding peace in church on Sunday morning
That's country and there ain't no better way
Reiterating the positive aspects of country life
To get up every morning
Highlighting the early morning work routine
Before the fog has cleared
Emphasizing starting work before the fog clears
To work the fields your daddy
Working the fields in continuation of family tradition
And his daddy worked for years
Passing down family values through generations
To teach your children manners
Teaching children important manners
Like "yes sir" and "no ma'am"
Instilling politeness and respect in children
Bending over backwards
Helping neighbors in times of need
When your neighbor needs a hand
Emphasizing the value of community support
That's country as a rooster on a fence post
Reiterating the rooster metaphor for country
That's country as the golden break of day
Country symbolized by the golden break of day
And I was brought up dreamin' and believing
Rooting one's upbringing in dreams and beliefs
That's country and there ain't no better way
Expressing the superiority of the country way
That's country as a bullfrog on the river
Country depicted as a bullfrog on the river
Country as wagon load of hay
Country symbolized by a wagon load of hay
Sweet peace of mind in church on Sunday morning
Finding inner peace in Sunday church mornings
That's country and there ain't no better way
Reiterating the positive aspects of country life
That's country and there ain't no better way
Emphasizing the unmatched quality of country living
