Capo 3rd fret [Intro](Play Twice) [Verse 1] There’s a house fly swimming in my sweet tea Hey darling pass another Kerr jar to me Butter Dripping of a biscuit baby better take a bite Cantaloupe thumps like its finally ripe Box fan on a lawn chair sucking in swamp air Two hundred mile marker signs from nowhere That’s what country is [Chorus] It ain’t a rebel flag you bought at the mall It’s a hid-away bed in an old horse stall Two kids getting caught stealing a boons farm kiss It ain’t a John Deere cap that’s never fell in the cotton It’s a Jimmy Rogers song that was long forgotten It’s homemade peach ice cream on sun burnt lips That’s what country is [Verse 2] When the sun starts slipping from The Delta sky and the last scarecrow tucks in for the night Make fire throw blanket on sandy bank Bout’ an hour till’ we feel the first catfish yank Barefoot and a cane pole waving at the river boat and when they’re gone take a dip in the moon glow Thats what country is [Chorus] It ain’t a rebel flag you bought at the mall It’s a hid-away bed in an old horse stall Two kids getting caught stealing a boons farm kiss It ain’t a John Deere cap that’s never fell in the cotton It’s a Jimmy Rogers song that was long forgotten It’s homemade peach ice cream on sun burnt lips That’s what country is [Bridge] [Chorus 2] It ain’t a jacked up truck that’s never seen a pasture It’s cars pulling over for a no-cab tractor It’s homemade peach ice cream on sun burnt lips No it cant be bought it’s something you’re born with That’s what country is [OUTRO](Play 3 times) That’s what country is

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la vie à la campagne, en soulignant des moments simples mais significatifs, comme apprécier une tasse de thé sucré, déguster des biscuits beurrés et partager un instant doux avec quelqu'un. Elle met en avant des éléments authentiques de la culture rurale, en contrastant des idées reçues sur ce que signifie vraiment être "rural". Au lieu de se concentrer sur des symboles commerciaux ou tendances, elle célèbre les souvenirs d'enfance, les plaisirs simples et les traditions familiales. Le contexte souligne une nostalgie pour un mode de vie plus ancré dans la nature et la communauté. C'est une invitation à redécouvrir ces petites joies qui construisent l'identité et l'esprit d'un lieu, loin des clichés habituels.
