They might take me out the country
Marshall Tucker, now can’t you see?
But you’ll never take the country outta me
You see me smiling on TV

Johnny Cash and Jimmy Rogers

Turn up Bocephus on the radio
Well, my face might seem familiar
Can’t go a day without Waylon Jennings
Y’all would have never heard of me
JJ Cale and old John Prine
Take a load off Annalee
I ain’t never been to heaven
Alabama’s always home to me
But they’ll never take sweet Dixieland from me, baby
But I hear it’s just the same as Tennessee, yeah
They might take me out to L.A.
And the red haired stranger’s on my mind
But they’ll never take the country outta me

You can take me outta country
My Sweet Melissa keeps on calling
Oh, take me home

You didn’t know that I was country
