WHAT COUNTRY'S ALL ABOUT
Introduction to the theme: What country life embodies
Ya don't need to drive no four-wheel-drive, or wear no cowboy hat
No need for stereotypical country symbols like four-wheel-drive or cowboy hat
Don't matter if you've drooped a ten point buck, ain't nothin' to do with that
Hunting achievements don't define country living
Don't care if you were born down South, or talk with a backwood's twang
Geographical origin or accent doesn't matter
Don't matter if you like to chew Redman, nah that don't mean a thang
Personal habits like chewing Redman tobacco are irrelevant
Sit on back you might learn a thing or two
An invitation to listen and learn about country values
It's about family, it's about friends, and doin' what's right like the good book says
Country life is about family and friends, doing what's morally right
It's about God, it's about faith, and bringin' up the kids like the way you was raised
Emphasis on God, faith, and raising children with traditional values
In the end there ain't no doubt… that's what country's all about
Undeniable conclusion about the essence of country living
That's what country's all about
Reiteration of the core message
Ya don't need to grow up balin' hay, or wake when the rooster crows
No need for specific rural activities like baling hay or waking early
Don't matter if you've ate Frog Legs, or partied on an old dirt road
Your experiences, even unconventional ones, don't define country life
Don't need to have holes in your jeans, or know how to plow a field
Attire or skills like plowing are not prerequisites for country authenticity
Don't need to fish with an old cane pole, you just gotta keep it real
Emphasis on authenticity, irrespective of traditional activities
Sit on back you might learn a thing or two
Encouragement to learn from the country way of life
It's about family, it's about friends, and doin' what's right like the good book says
Restatement of the importance of family, friends, and moral conduct
It's about God, it's about faith, and bringin' up the kids like the way you was raised
Reiteration of the role of God, faith, and traditional child-rearing
In the end there ain't no doubt… that's what country's all about
Confident affirmation of the central theme
Sit on back you might learn a thing or two
Reinforcement of the invitation to learn from country life
You see Grandpa pickin' on his banjo as you're pullin' up the drive
Depiction of a typical country scene with Grandpa playing banjo
The kids all take of runnin', they want Grandma's apple pie
Description of family activities and desires like Grandma's apple pie
You gather round the table then you bow your head's in prayer
Highlighting the importance of prayer and togetherness
You hold each other's hand as you thank the man upstairs
Expressing gratitude together, emphasizing unity
And now you know what Country's all about
Reiteration of the understanding of country values
It's about family, it's about friends, and doin' what's right like the good book says
Restatement of the central theme involving family, friends, and morality
It's about God, it's about faith, and bringin' up the kids like the way you was raised
Reemphasis on the role of God, faith, and traditional child-rearing
In the end there ain't no doubt… that's what country's all about
Confident affirmation of the core message
That's what country's all about
Reiteration of the central theme for emphasis
That's what country's all about
Further emphasis on the core message
That's what country's all about
Reaffirmation of the central theme
And now you know what country's all about
Conclusion, stating that now the listener understands the essence of country living
