Lyrics
Well, I like my lovin’ done country style
And this little girl would walk a country mile
To find her a good old slow talkin’ country boy
I said a country boy
I’m about as old-fashioned as I can be
So I hope you’re likin’ what you see
If you’re lookin’ at me
You’re lookin’ at country
You don’t see no city when you look at me
‘Cause country’s all I am
I love runnin’ barefooted through the old cornfields
And I love that country ham
Well, you say I’m made just to fit your plans
But there’s a barnyard shovel fit your hands
If your eyes are on me
You’re lookin’ at country, oh Bobby
Well, at least your country is a little green
But there’s a whole lotta of country that you ain’t seen
I’ll show you around if you’ll show me a weddin’ band
I said a weddin’ band
When it comes to love, well, I know about that
Country folks all know where it’s at
If you’re lookin’ at me
You’re lookin’ at country
You don’t see no city when you look at me
‘Cause country’s all I am
I love runnin’ barefooted through the old cornfields
And I love that country ham
Well, you say I’m made just to fit your plans
But there’s a barnyard shovel fit your hands
If your eyes are on me
You’re lookin’ at country
If your eyes are on me
You’re lookin’ at country
