Country In My Genes - The Broken Circle Breakdown Bluegrass Band

Well, they say that I’m too country

The way I look and sound

They wanna to make me over

Just a little more uptown

Say I need to change my image

Now tell me what’s that mean?

Don’t they know I’ve got country in my genes?

Well, I can’t help the way I talk

I wouldn’t change it if I could

Sophisticated ain’t my style

But country fits me good

I ain’t ashamed to wear

What’s been handed down to me

Lord, I’ve got country in my genes

I’ve got country in my genes

Country in my blood

It goes back generations

It’s something I’m proud of

It’s something I was born with

What you get is what you see

I’m just an old hillbilly

With a country song to sing

Lord, I’ve got country in my genes

Oh, that Earl Scruggs

If country’s hit the big time

Me I’m still the same

I ain’t above my raising

And I ain’t about to change

I wouldn’t trade my Wranglers

For the finest gabardine

Lord, I’ve got country in my genes

I’ve got country in my genes

Country in my blood

It goes back generations

It’s something I’m proud of

It’s something I was born with

What you get is what you see

I’m an old Kentucky hillbilly

With a country song to sing

Lord, I’ve got country in my genes

Lord, I’ve got country in my genes
