E 
These new trucks got 
D 
YouTube on the dash 
A 
We still jack 'em up and get 'em 
E 
Muddy on the back forty 

E 
That radio 
       D 
Don't sound like it used to 
       A 
These folks 'round here crankin' it up 
       E 
Still three chords and the truth 

They say 
 

 
E 
Country ain't what

E 
Call it old fashioned 
        D 
But if you ask me it ain't 
        A 
If you shake a hand look him in the eye 
         E 
You can take that to the bank 

          E 
Give the shirt off my back 
D 
Drop everything 
A 
If you're ever broke down 
          E 
Down and out or up the creek 

They say 
 

 
E 
Country ain't what 
D 
Country was 

I say 
A 
Country is what 
E        D 
Country does 


Yeah that 
E 
Flag's still wavin' 
D 
Mama's still prayin' 
A                        E 
Country is what country does 

             E 
We're still fryin' up chicken on Sunday 
D 
Guitar pickig on porch swings 
A 
Making our living that same way 
 

 
E 
Digging in the ground 
                                 D 
From the time that the sun comes up 

'Til it goes back down 
                    A 
Little lost little found 

Throw a 20 in the plate on Sunday 
E 
Getting by some how, some way

Half broke but we ain't broke down

Country does
