It's the sound of the gravel on a back road It's a catfish pulling on a line It's the screen door swinging on a front porch It's the crickets chirping in the night It's the sound of a tractor on a wheat field And a herd of horses running wild It's a hammer pounding nails on an old red barn door Right on time Yeah, that's the rhythm Of a laid back country state of mind Yeah, kick your feet up If you're down, c'mon won't you stay awhile It's the stomp on the metal of the bleachers And the buzz of them overtime lights It's the sound of a drop-down tailgate Parked beside a midnight bonfire And I can hear the preacher read the good word While the Sunday morning church bells chime I can hear the neighbors every time they throw a banger On a... a Friday night Yeah, that's the rhythm Of a laid back country state of mind Yeah, kick your feet up If you're down, c'mon won't you stay awhile All you gotta do is feel the beat Get into the groove, just roll with me tonight Yeah, that's the rhythm Of a laid back country state of mind Yeah, that's the rhythm Of a laid back country state of mind Yeah, kick your feet up If you're down, c'mon won't you stay awhile All you gotta do is feel the beat Get into the groove, just roll with me tonight Yeah, that's the rhythm Of a laid back country state of mind
