Put Some Drive in Your Country - Travis Tritt

Well, I was raised on country classics

Like Roy Acuff and George Jones

Lord, I loved to hear 'em

Sing all them old-time country songs

But I really got excited

'Bout the time I turned fifteen

That’s the first time I heard Waylon

And old Bocephus sing

They put some drive in their country

That really turned me on

Yeah, put some drive in your country

Keep country drivin' on

When the music gets you movin'

You know that can’t be wrong

Every time I hear that outlaw stuff

On my car radio

It makes me wanna drive it

Just as fast as it will go

Put some drive in your country

Let’s keep country drivin' on

We played some shows in Atlanta

On Sunday afternoons

The gigs were packed and I was nervous

'Cause I wanted folks to like my tunes

The crowds were full of younger people

They were all about my age

So I turned and told the band

Just before we walked on stage

Put some drive in your country, fellas

We turned those people on, oh, yes we did

Yeah, put some drive in your country

Keep country drivin' on

When the music gets you dancin'

You know that can’t be wrong

See, I made myself a promise

When I was just a kid

I’d mix southern rock and country

And that’s just what I did

Put some drive in your country

Keep country drivin' on

Put some drive in your country

Hey, let’s keep country drivin' on

When the music gets you movin'

You know that can’t be wrong

I still love old country

I ain’t tryin' to put it down

Damn, I miss Duane Allman

I wish he was still around

Put some drive in the country

Keep country drivin' on

Yeah, put some drive in the country

Yeah, let’s keep country drivin' on, yeah
