[Verse 1]
A
Ridin' twenty miles on a midnight train
A
Just to go fishin' in the pourin' rain
A
Take along your baby,
A
Just 'cause you're in love 
N.C.
Fishin' and lovin': I can't get enough

[Chorus]
             D 
Well, that's country
                       A
I was raised a country child
            C
Now, that's country
B     Bb        A    A  C D C A
Baby, that's my style

[Verse 2]
A
Got me a pick-up
A
I got a piece-of-nothin' farm
A
Shotgun and a hound dog
A
I got a tractor in the barn
A
Rockin' chair on my front porch
A
And a jug of home-made wine 
N.C.
When I ain't makin' music
N.C.
That's how I spend my time

[Chorus]
             D   
Well, that's country
                           A  
I was born, yes, a country child
            D
Now, that's country
     B     Bb        A    A  C D C A
But, baby, that's my style

[Bridge]
A
You know every man and woman ought to 
A
Have a place to lay their burdens down
                          D
You all can do it in that city
                                   E7
But it ain't the same in a big old town

[Instrumental Verse]
A  A  D  A 
E  A  
A C D C 4x

Now, me, just talk to y'all one time

[Verse 3]
A
Have you ever laid in a field of clover
A
Late into the night
A
And watched a shooting star fall from heaven
A
Till the moon fades outta sight?
A
Get up and go visitin'
A
That's just what neighbors do 
N.C.
I'm proud to be from the country
N.C.
Now, how about you?

[Chorus]
           D   
Oh, that's country
                                 A
I was raised on that Mississippi mile
            C
Now, that's country
     B     Bb        A      A Bb B C
But, baby, that's my style
             D   
Well, that's country
                           A
Guess I was born a country child
           C
Now that's country
     B     Bb        A    A  C D C A
And, baby, that's my style

           C
Now that's country
     B     Bb        A    A  C D C A  A
And, baby, that's my style
