Now That's Country - Marty Stuart Lyrics

Now That's Country

Ridin' twenty miles on a midnight train
Just to go fishin' in the pourin' rain
Take along your baby just 'cause you're in love
Well, fishin' and lovin', I can't get enough

Now that's country, I was raised a country child
Now that's country and, baby, that's my style

Got me a pick-up, I got a piece of nothin' farm
Shotgun and a hound dog, I got a tractor in the barn Rockin' chair on my front porch and a jug of homemade wine
When I ain't makin' music, that's how I spend my time

Well, that's country, I was born, yes, a country child
Now that's country and, baby, that's my style

You know every man and woman ought'a have a place to lay their burdens down
Y'all can do it in that city, but it ain't the same in a big ol' town

Now let me just talk to y'all one time...
Have you ever laid in a field of clover late into the night
And watched a shootin' star fall from heaven till the moon fades out of sight
Get up and go visitin', that's just what neighbors do
I'm proud to be from the country, now how 'bout you

Well, that's country, I was raised on that Mississippi mile
Now that's country and, baby, that's my style

Well, that's country, yes, I was born a country child
Now that's country and, baby, that's my style
