[A]Well, they say that I'm too country the way I look and sound
They wanna make me over just a [E]little more uptown
Say I [A]need to change my image now tell me, what's the [D]mean
Don't they [A]know I've got [Cm]country [Bm]in my [A]genes
Well, I can't help it, 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
Chorus
I've got [D]country in my genes country in my blood
It [A]goes back generations...it's something I'm proud of
it's [D]something I was born with, whatcha get is whatcha see[Db]
I'm [B]just an old hillbilly with a [E]country song to sing
[A]Lord, I got [Cm]country [Bm]in my [A]genes
Solo
If country's hit the big time, me, I'm still the same
I ain't above my raisin' and I ain't about to change
I wouldn't trade my ringers for a finest gaverdine
Lord, I've got country in my genes
Chorus
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, whatcha get is whatcha see
I'm just an old hillbilly with a country song to sing
Lord, I 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, whatcha get is whatcha see
I'm an old Kentucky hillbilly with a country song to sing
Lord, I got country in my genes
Lord, I got country in my genes
