[Verse 1]
Em Bm
There's a house fly swimmin' in my sweet tea
C D
Hey, darlin' pass another Kerr jar to me
Em Bm
Butter drippin' off a biscuit, baby, better take a bite
C D
Cantaloupe thumps like it's finally ripe
Em Bm
Box fan on a lawn chair suckin' in swamp air
C D
Two hundred mile marker signs from nowhere
Em Bm C D
That's what country is
[Chorus]
G D/F#
It ain't a rebel flag you bought at the mall
Em C
It's a hideaway bed in an old horse stall
G D/F# C Bm Em D
Two kids gettin' caught stealin' a Boone's farm kiss
G D/F#
It ain't a John Deere cap that's never fell in the cotton
Em D
It's a Jimmy Rodgers song that was long forgotten
Am G C
It's homemade peach ice cream on sunburnt lips
D
That's what country is
[Instrumental]
| Em Bm | C D |
[Verse 2]
Em Bm
When the sun starts slippin' from the Delta sky
C D
And the last scarecrow tucks in for the night
Em Bm
Make a fire, throw a blanket on the sandy bank
C D
'Bout an hour till we feel the first catfish yank
Em Bm
Barefoot cane pole wavin' at the riverboats
C D
And when they're gone, take a dip in the moon glow
Em Bm C D
That's what country is
[Chorus]
G D/F#
It ain't a rebel flag you bought at the mall
Em C
It's a hideaway bed in an old horse stall
G D/F# C Bm Em D
Two kids gettin' caught stealin' a Boone's farm kiss
G D/F#
It ain't a John Deere cap that's never fell in the cotton
Em D
It's a Jimmy Rodgers song that was long forgotten
Am G C
It's homemade peach ice cream on sunburnt lips
D
That's what country is
[Instrumental]
| Em Bm | C D |
| Em Bm | C Bm Em D |
[Chorus]
G D/F#
It ain't a jacked up truck that's never seen a pasture
Em D
It's cars pullin' over for an old camp tractor
Am G C D
It's home made peach ice cream on sunburnt lips
Am G C
No, it can't be bought, it's something you're born with
D
That's what country is
