How We Say It In The Country |
LyricsHOW WE SAY IT IN THE COUNTRYGrandaddy made me laugh with the way he used to talk He'd tell me 'bout tricks you couldn't teach an old dog I'd hear of people getting' all gussied up Ladies looking finer than a mess of speckled pups And I would cock my head Confused as I could be I asked Grandad just what on earth those silly words all mean That's how we say it in the country Can't help how I was raised I ain't had to explain my words In a dagum coon's age You might think my southern speakin' sounds kinda funny Well sonny, that's how we say it in the country Grandpappy kicked the bucket, done did bought the farm He taught this pig to dance, and golly I'll be darned Now I'm shacked up in the city, can't shake my rural roots Them phrases stick around, like cow poop on a boot What made no lick of sense Is now so clear to me And somehow Grandpa's silly words became reality That's how we say it in the country Can't help how I was raised I ain't had to explain my words In a dagum coon's age You might think my southern speakin' sounds kinda funny Well sonny, that's how we say it in the country Livin' a world, people yappin all around Ears are bleedin' cause it ain't the proper sound High fluiten words make you look like a fool and "what up homey" lingo really ain't cool Get your dog in the fight, see the light, Get your manners right (right, right) Hey cant you see, the way its supposed to be "Thank you, yes sir, yes mam" That's how we say it in the country |
