[Intro]
Play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway

[Verse 1]
Clear creeks and cool mountain mornin's
Honest work out in the field
Cornbread in my mama's kitchen
Daddy sayin' grace before the meal

[Pre-Chorus]
Family ties run deep in this land
And I'm never very far from what I am

[Chorus 1]
I was born country, and that's what I'll always be
Like the rivers and the woodlands, wild and free
I got a hundred years of down home runnin' through my blood
I was born country, and this country's what I love

[Chorus 2]
I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh, I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why
[Chorus 3]
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot but not for a Louisiana man
So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band

[Verse 2]
Rollin' down a backwoods, Tennessee by-way
One arm on the wheel
Holding my lover with the other
A sweet, soft, southern thrill
Worked hard all week; got a little jingle
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Couldn't feel better, I'm together
With my dixieland delight

[Chorus 4]
Spend my dollar, parked in a holler
'Neath the mountain moonlight
Hold her up tight
Make a little lovin'
A little turtle dovin'
On a Mason-Dixon night
Fits my life, oh so right
My Dixieland Delight
[Outro]
Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love
To guide us with the light of love
