Well I was raised on country classics 
 
Like Roy Acuff and George Jones 
 
Lord I love'd to hear 'em 
                                E7 
Sing all them old time country songs 
        A 
But I really got excited 
 
'bout the time I turned 15 
            D7 
That's the first time I heard Waylon 
 
and old Bocephus sing 
                A 
They put some drive in their country 
E                     A 
That really turned me on 
 
D7 
Yea, put some drive in your country 
                     A 
Keep country drivin' on 
          D7 
When the music gets you movin' 
B                      E 
You know that can't be wrong 
A 
Everytime I hear that Outlaw stuff 
 
On my car radio 
     D7 
It makes me wanna drive it 
 
Just as fast as it will go 
          A 
Put some drive in your country 
E                          A 
Let's keep country drivin' on

We played some shows in Atlanta 
 
On Sunday afternoons 
 
The gigs were packed and I was nervous 
                                E 
Cause I wanted folks to like my tunes 
                A 
The crowds were full of younger people 
 
They were all about my age 
       D7 
So I turned and told the band 
 
Just before we walked on stage 
          A 
Put some drive in your country fellas 
E                      A 
We turned those people on 
 
              D7 
Yea put some drive in your country 
                     A 
Keep country drivin' on 
          D7 
When the music gets you dancin' 
B                      E 
You know that can't be wrong 
A 
See I made myself a promise 
 
When I was just a kid 
         D7 
I'd mix southern rock and country 
 
And that's just what I did 
         A 
Put some drive in your country 
E                    A 
Keep country drivin' on 
 
HEY-YEA-YEA-YEA 
 
(Instrumental Break) 
 
          D7 
Put some drive in your country 
                              A 
Hey let's keep country drivin on 
          D7 
When the music gets you movin' 
B                      E 
You know that can't be wrong 
         A 
I still love old country 
 
I ain't tryin' to put it down 
D7 
Damn I miss Duanne Allman 
 
I wish he was still around 
          A 
Put some drive in the country 
E                    A 
Keep country drivin' on 
    D 
HEY-YEA 
          A 
Put some drive in the country 
E                          A 
Let's keep country drivin' on 
 
YEA-YEA-YEA-YEA
