C     F        G7                C 
I was born and raised on country music 

    F         G7                C 
The kind that grows inside your bones 

F         G7       C               Am 
I've been fried by spot lights and wine 

F                               G7 
Picking up and having some good time 



F             G7             C 
Now that I've grown somewhat older 

F           G7                   C 
And all the good times have gone bad 

F                  G7       C       Am 
And I've played it all from rock to soul 

F                                  G7 
Country is the heart that beats in me 



F            G7               C 
I believe in good old country music 

F                  G7            C 
Where everyone can clap and sing along 

F                G7              C             Am 
You can have the city lights and I'll take the moon 

F                              G7 
Bet 'cha that I'm happier than you 



F            G7               C 
I believe in good old country music 

F                  G7            C 
Where everyone can clap and sing along 

F                G7              C             Am 
You can have the city lights and I'll take the moon 

F                 G7           C 
Bet 'cha that I'm happier than you 


  
      F          G7                 C 
I can play a new screaming electric guitar 

F                    G7        C 
Turn 'em up and play them solo songs 

F             G7       C          Am 
But just give me a big string flattop 
  
F                                      G7 
And I'll sing and play for you all day long 



F             G7                    C 
Throw me in a good old country bass line 

F            G7              C 
Add a little shuffle on them drums 

F        G7                C            Am 
Play for me some down home mean country leads 

F                                      G7 
And we'll have ourselves one heck of a time 



F            G7               C 
I believe in good old country music 

F                  G7            C 
Where everyone can clap and sing along 

F                G7              C             Am 
You can have the city lights and I'll take the moon 

F                              G7 
Bet 'cha that I'm happier than you 



F            G7               C 
I believe in good old country music 

F                  G7            C 
Where everyone can clap and sing along 

F                G7              C             Am 
You can have the city lights and I'll take the moon 

F                              G7 
Bet 'cha that I'm happier than you
