"It's Still Country To Me" Lyrics

About five ten years ago
You never heard a banjo
Now you turn on the radio
And hear it take a solo
And if you played six strings
Well you had to make it twang
Now it's AC/DC with a shot of Hank
Nashville calls it the latest thing
But I don't think that nothin's changed
Cuz

[Chorus]
It's still country to me
Still roots runnin' deep
Still music to drink by
Raise your lighter to the sky
That screamin' guitars
And hillbilly bars
If it gets you on your feet
Well then it's still country to me

Well I got to thank my daddy
Cuz he turned me onto Whalen
And my Friday night buddies
For their crankin' Van Halen
Grandpa taught me a few fiddle licks
Now I run 'em thru an amp
And it sounds like this
{*Guitar*}
You may call it the latest thing
But I don't think that nothin's changed
Cuz

[Chorus]
It's still country to me
Still roots runnin' deep
Still music to drink by
Raise your lighter to the sky
That screamin' guitars
And hillbilly bars
If it gets you on your feet
Well then it's still country to me

It's still country to me
Still roots runnin' deep
Still music to drink by
Raise your lighter to the sky
It's a hillbilly thing
Y'all know what I mean
If it gets you on your feet
It's still country to me

It's still country to me
Still roots runnin' deep
Still music to drink by
Raise your lighter to the sky
That screamin' guitars
And hillbilly bars
If it gets you on your feet
Well then it's still country to me

It's still country to me
It's still country to me
