Verse 1:
[D] [G] [D]
Clear creeks and cool mountain mornin's, honest work out in the fields
[G]
Cornbread in my momma's kitchen, daddy saying ‘grace’ before the meal
[A] [G]
Family ties run deep in this land,
[A] [G] [A]
And I’m never very far from what I aaaaam
*During the verse, if sounds good for one guitar to play the
chords and the other to continue playing the part of Guitar I*
Chorus:
[G] [D] [A] [D]
I was born country, and that's what I'll always be
[G] [D] [A]
Like the rivers and the woodlands wild and free
[G] [D] [Bm]
I got a hundred years of down home, running through my blood
[G] [D] [A] [D]
I was born country, and this country's what I love
Verse 2:
[D]
Moonlight, and you here beside me
[G] [D]
Crickets serenadin' in the yard
What more could two people ask for
[G]
Laying here in love beneath the stars
[A] [G]
Now this is where I wanna raise my kids
[A] [G] [A]
Just the way my mom and daddy diiiiid
Repeat Chorus 2x
[D]
I was born country...
