Y’all would have never heard of me
Oh, take me home
Take a load off Annalee
And the red haired stranger’s on my mind
I ain’t never been to heaven
You can take me outta country
They might take me out to L.A.
They might take me out the country
Johnny Cash and Jimmy Rogers
Well, my face might seem familiar
My Sweet Melissa keeps on calling
But they’ll never take the country outta me
You see me smiling on TV
JJ Cale and old John Prine
You didn’t know that I was country
Can’t go a day without Waylon Jennings
Marshall Tucker, now can’t you see?
But they’ll never take sweet Dixieland from me, baby
But I hear it’s just the same as Tennessee, yeah
Turn up Bocephus on the radio
But you’ll never take the country outta me
