Verse 1:
I drive a compact SUV with a straight four engine inside.
And I think the Union won the war but I respect your pride.
(Bass )
And I don t chew tobacco but man I ll drink your beer,
I was born up above the Dixie line and I ended up down here.
Chorus:
I m not country but I like your country, I know where I m from.
When I hear your songs on the radio, I start having fun.
- - (quickly)
I m so down with deep fried chicken; Jesus saved my soul.
Yeah I m a northern city boy and this ain t Rock and roll.
Verse 2:
I don t like watching NASCAR but God bless the number 3.
I cheer on the Pittsburgh Steelers, I don t watch the SEC,
-(Bass )
I don t shoot guns or ride horses but I ll give em both a try.
If Johnny Cash ever heard this song I bet he d start to cry.
Chorus 2:
I m not country but I like your country, I know where I m from.
When I hear your songs on the radio, I start having fun.
- - (quickly)
I m so down with deep fried chicken; Jesus saved my soul.
Yeah I m a northern city boy and this ain t Rock and roll.
No ooh oh
Verse 3:
I like pretty southern bells and I like to take things slow
But my cousins are NYPDs and I can drive in the snow.
-(Bass )
Yeah I grew up playing in the dirt up where it ain t red
And I got one pair of cowboy boots but they ain t gone to my head.
Final Chorus:
I m not country but I like the country,
I m not saying that I m the real deal
And when your songs come on the radio, I like the way I feel.
- - (quickly)
I m so down with deep fried chicken; Jesus saved my soul.
