Hot sun going down, heating up this little town
The cows are fed and the plowing's all been done
Moon light, fireflies, beer on the bank by the riverside
We're gonna have ourselves a little fun
Dancing on the tailgates and raising a little cain
Rocking in the pastures and rolling in the hay

It's the life I love and I'm gonna live it 'til they bury me
I can't get enough of dirt roads and dusty fields and the simple things
And I take pride in everything I've got
'Cause I'm American-born and country by the grace of God

I don't need no Cadillacs, you can't put no hay bails in the back
It won't cross a creek or tow no heavy load
I don't like a high-rise cluttering up my clear blue skies
Don't wanna be where the city's all that grows
Some are born with a silver spoon and some come from the farm
Some have a ball in the mansion, but we get down in the barn

It's the life I love and I'm gonna live it 'til they bury me
I can't get enough of dirt roads and dusty fields and the simple things
And I take pride in everything I've got
'Cause I'm American-born and country by the grace of God

We build a world of dreams on a big ol' piece of land
We're free to so anything we like, we're country so we can

It's the life I love and I'm gonna live it 'til they bury me
I can't get enough of dirt roads and dusty fields and the simple things
And I take pride in everything I've got
'Cause I'm American-born and country by the grace of God
