Well, I'm a country singer and a country dreamer With a country heart I love flat top pickin', clogging and kickin' To an old French harp And I love bluegrass music with a banjo ringin' And a dobro slide I'm in the back porch playin', if you know what I'm sayin' I'm dixie pride Well, I was raised as a son of a Georgia farmer It was a simple life I had a sister not a brother and a saint for a mother Daddy's loving wife Well, my mama was a Christian went to church every Sunday And she taught me well To pray to God up in Heaven, at the early age of seven Save my soul from hell And I'm proud of the roots of my raisin' And the livin' that we grew from Georgia mud And I'm proud of my family I've been blessed with And I'll die proud of the country in my blood Well, I'm a little bit older and I'm tryna make a living In the local bars Strokin' and a stringin', every night I'm entertaining Playing my guitar Though my childhood's over my thoughts tend to wander to my younger days Where the work was hard and the music started In the Georgia clay And I'm proud of the roots of my raisin' And the living that we grew from Georgia mud And I'm proud of my family I've been blessed with And I'll die proud of the country in my blood Yes, I will I will die proud of the country in my blood
