Lyrics Didn't Know I Was Country - Michael Ray

Guess it was all in my head
I thought all dirt was red
"Yes sir, yes ma′am"
Was something everyone said
You drove a Chevy or Ford
And every house had a porch
With an old bird dog
Sleeping by the screen door
I didn't know I was a way back in the pines Friday night kid
I was just cuttin′ up like my dad did
Thought every boy in the world
Put a ring on their high school girl
For 18 years, I didn't know I talked funny
Didn't know we were poor, thought we had plenty of money
Thought everybody had peace of mind, and a piece of land
I didn′t know I was country
Thank God I am
You went to school to play ball
Cranked up some ′90s McGraw
Thought everybody said gracе, and everybody said "y'all"
(That′s right y'all)
I didn′t know I was a way back in the pinеs Friday night kid
I was just cuttin' up like my dad did
Thought every boy in the world
Put a ring on their high school girl
For 18 years, I didn′t know I talked funny
Didn't know we were poor, thought we had plenty of money
Thought everybody had peace of mind, and a piece of land
I didn't know I was country
Thank God I am
It′s just the way I thought it was
You work a 40-hour week for a cold beer buzz
′Til I hit them city limits
I didn't know no different
I didn′t know I was a way back in the pines Friday night kid
I was just cuttin' up like my dad did
Thought every boy in the world
Put a ring on their high school girl
For 18 years, I didn′t know I talked funny
Didn't know we were poor, thought we had plenty of money
Thought everybody had peace of mind, and a piece of land
If you′d come from a town like mine, you'd understand
I didn't know I was country
Thank God I am
