You can take me out of the country
Try to make me what you think I should be
Oh you can take me out of the country
But you'll never take the country out of me
There so many jumping on that country band waggon
Finding that the music's really fine
But to me there's nothing really new about the country
That's just where I've been all the time
You can take me out of the country
Try to make me what you think I should be
Oh you can take me out of the country
But you'll never take the country out of me
But I confess I'm proud to be a country loving woman
And every song I sing I sing with pride
And if it's now acceptable to follow country music
And I'll go western moving with the tide
You can take me out of the country
Try to make me what you think I should be
Oh you can take me out of the country
But you'll never take the country out of me
Country music's come of age they surely can't deny it
They're treating it with dignity and style
Funny how they're claiming that country's now commercial
That's what I've been saying all the while
You can take me out of the country
Try to make me what you think I should be
Oh you can take me out of the country
But you'll never take the country out of me
Well you can take me out of the country
Try to make me what you think I should be
Oh you can take me out of the country
But you'll never take the country out of me
You can take me out of the country
Try to make me what you think I should be
Oh you can take me out of the country
But you'll never take the country out of me
Oh you can take me out of the country
Try to make me what you think I should be
Oh you can take me out of the country
But you'll never take the country out of me
Oh you can take me out of the country
Try to make me what you think I should be
Oh you can take me out of the country
But you'll never take the country out of me
