Sung By: John Anderson

Let s take the country back!!
Intro: (x2)?
Goin down to Muscle Shoals * Where the swamp water rhythm
flows * Live the only way I know * I m just a common man * Headed
down to Texas way * Where the honky tonk heroes play * Gonna find
that lost highway * That s where I ll make a stand *
Chorus:
Takin the country back * It s high time we face the facts * Heart and
soul slippin through the cracks * We re takin the country back *
Takin the country back * We re not sure just where it s at * We ve
got to get it back on track * We re takin the country back *
(same chords as above)
Bright lights and limousines * Fame and fortune I have seen * Still
searchin for that dream * It s callin me back home * Down to earth
where the music s real * Singin bout what the people feel * Timeless
truth, now that s the deal * We got to pass in on, y all * (Chorus x 3)
(after 3 chorus)
We re takin the country back * Takin the country on back *
