Countrier Than Thou, Countrier Than Thou
You weren't raised in a shack so you better not act so
Countrier Than Thou
Some people just don't understand it if you come from where the kudzu grows
They think the south is like a planet of p*****woods and bozos
When I was young I picked some tubers even took a swig of moonshine
But I never saw so many goobers until the day I crossed that line
Countrier Than Thou, Countrier Than Thou
You wasn't born in a cave so you better not behave so
Countrier Than Thou
Down at the bar a-spinnin Haggard he wore a Johnny Reb tattoo
Overalls he spat and swaggered, lord he was a Boston Jew
He loved bluegrass oh, brother when I said Shania he sneered
"That's a word I wouldn't know of We like to keep it down-home up here"
Countrier Than Thou, Countrier Than Thou
You aint never read your bible, tell me why's your vibe all
Countrier Than Thou
Home is nice and Dixie's nice and everyone likes a thing that's nice
But everybody likes you better by far when you are what you are
Not a hillbilly dilletante, fair weather hick, demi-something (clyde, clod), faux po'folks, well-readneck...
Robert-E.-come-lately hayseed wanna-be undercover Yankee...
Mississippi Ph. D., Alabamateur, 50% less Tarheel armchair Arkansan
He's got a ranch he wears a Stetson he's a hip-shooting ex-oil king
He even talks like Buddy Ebsen but he's sitting in the West Wing
Frankenstein I'm well aware of but won't somebody please explain
How you get a county sherrif walking with a fratboy's brain
Countrier Than Thou, Countrier Than Thou
Well you went to Andover What's the banjo fer?
Countrier Than Thou
Yeah, Countrier Than Thou
You wasn't raised in a shack so you better not act so
