Country Lyrics - Mo Pitney

Have you ever picked guitar on your front porch 

In the morning as the sun was risin'? 

Or followed your dog down to the river 

And ran into an ole' baptizin'? 

Do you think to pull off on the side of the road 

When that big black hearse is passing? 

Have you ever helped someone in need 

Without them even asking? 

We do that in the country, 

Let me tell you 'bout country 

Country can be in the middle of a city 

Country can be on a farm, 

Country ain't even a place on the map, 

It's a place in your heart 

Would you ever hitched a ride to Music City 

Just to see an Opry show? 

Would you drive across the country 

Just to listen to some country? 

Country can be in the middle of a city 

Country can be on a farm, 

Country ain't even a place on the map, 

It's a place in your heart. 

Have you ever been there at the courthouse square 

For the parade on the 'Fourth of July'? 

With a tear on your face and a lump in your throat 

As you watch ole' glory go by, 

Or sat thru a service where they played tabs 

For a soldier who never came home? 

Or looked in the sad brown eyes of his momma 

As she touched his name on that stone? 

He fought for his country 

And died for his country 

Yeah I love my country 

Let me tell you 'bout, country.
