[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 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
