paroles de chanson Ride Through The Country - Colt Ford

Down the road where the black top ends
You can find Colt Ford with all his friends
We′re used to gravel roads, and fishin'
With cane poles, wasn′t no swimmin' pools, just swimmin' holes

We was dirt road poor, and cane switched raised,
I′ve been came a long way since back in them days,
Been ′round the world twice seen all fifty states,
Ate on thousand dollar china, but love some paper plates
There ain't nothing wrong with them big city lights
But me, I prefer them slow country nights
Where I can see the darkness come in and go

Most folks is honest, and they all speak slow
You can leave your door open, ain′t nothin' gonna happen
Most country folks, sing, but I couldn′t
So I'm rappin, I wanna show y′all where I come from
And invite y'all all down to any country town

Now before I pack my things and leave
There's something I need y′all to understand
I′ve seen a lotta things in my life time, that's why I walk the line
I′m just a simple man, and I ain't in the things for cheep thrills
But all the scars heal, don′t you ever cry for me
I ain't ashamed where I′m from, you always will come and
Take a ride through the country

Up, dressed, and gone by 5 am
He's country, and he's rappin′
We gotta play him, folks been waitin for some one like me
To give ′em some heart beats and spit that country

My jeans don't sag, they fit, they kinda tight
Got on a white t-shirt, no nothin′ but work
Daylight til dark, that's how I was bread
And I′ll keep being country 'til the day I′m dead

See, country folks eat biscuits called cat heads
Barbeque, baked beans, sweet tea, and white bread
We like to fish and hunt, aint scared of a fight
Love the Good Lord and believe in doing right

Got 4-wheel drives, some got mud on 'em
You can keep your rolls roice, cuz baby, we don't want ′em!
So now yall all know exactly who I am
And if you ain′t from the south, I don't give a damn!

Now before I pack my things and leave
There′s something I need y'all to understand
I′ve seen a lotta things in my life time, that's why I walk the line
I′m just a simple man, and I ain't in the things for cheep thrills
But all the scars heal, don't you ever cry for me
I ain′t ashamed where I′m from, you always will come and
Take a ride through the country

You might see my on your t.v, but honey
That don't mean a thing
You see, I′m still that same 'ol country boy
And that′s all I'll ever be
And sometime those bright lights blind me
And make it hard for me to see
But when I need to be reminded
I take a ride through the country

At about 5 o′clock on Friday afternoon
Them country boys head down to the local saloon
You welcome to stop in and have a cold bottle
Big city boys and stuck up super models
We don't care where you from, as long as you polite
'Cause push come to chove and every one of us will fight

We mostly easy like Sunday morning
Old Colt came here to give y′all fair warnin′
Country folks wont be pushed around and
There's some of us livin′ in every town
We believe in the Bible, and the U.S.A
Work hard for what you want
It's the American way
Nobody owe you nothin′
Supposed to earn your keep
But in a hard days work
Get a good night of sleep
I know some of y'all think Colt′s kinda odd
But I'm loud, proud and country by the grace of God!

Now before I pack my things and leave
There's something I need y′all to understand
I′ve seen a lotta things in my life time, that's why I walk the line
I′m just a simple man, and I ain't in the things for cheep thrills
But all the scars heal, don′t you ever cry for me
I ain't ashamed where I′m from, you always will come and
Take a ride through the country
