COUNTRY IN MY SOUL - by Ray O'Bannon


now I always liked my rock and roll, my best friend was my stereo
and I'd play speed metal loud as I could get
then I saw this old man hitchin' rides, said 'where ya goin, dude?'
he said 'to take you someplace you ain't noticed yet'

well we headed up the mountain and we sat around by the still
and then we grabbed a jug and headed up the rise
well, it all seemed awfull quiet till I noticed all the sounds
and when I really listened, man was I suprised

Chorus:
it sounded good, it sounded fine
just like sippin' on that old moonshine
and I finally realized I had country in my soul
and I just plain ain't about to let it go

well my friends thought I was crazy when I started in a-playin'
and it didn't sound like Aerosmith or Kiss
naw, it sounded like the mountains and the pine trees in the valley
and son, let me tell you this

(chorus)

(chorus)
yeee haw!
