Well I like my lovin' done country style And this little girl would walk a country mile, To find her a good old slow-talkin country boy I said a country boy I'm about as old-fashion as I can be And I hope you're likin' what you see 'Cause if you're lookin' at me You're lookin' at country. [Chorus] You don't see no city when you look at me "'Cause, country's all I am I love runnin' bare naked through the old corn fields And I love that country Ham-ha-ham Well, you say I'm made just to fit your plans But does a barnyard shovel fit your hands If your eyes are on me You're lookin' at country This here country is a little green And there's a lot of country that-a you ain't seen I'll show you around if you'll show me a wedding band I said a weddin' band When it comes to love, well, I know about that Country folks all know where it's at If you're lookin' at me Your lookin' at country [Chorus]
