You say you love me and its inviting, to go where life is more exciting But I was raised on country sunshine I was raised on country sunshine, green grass beneath my feet Running through the fields of daisies, wading through the creek You love me and its inviting, to go where life is more exciting But I was raised on country sunshine I was raised on country sunshine, I'm happy with the simple things A Saturday night dance, a picture show and the joy that a bluebird brings I love you please believe me, I won't want you to ever leave me But I was raised on country sunshine There's just something bout the morning that make each day a joy to see The nighttime brings a peaceful feeling that rests inside of me I love you please believe me, I won't want you to ever leave me But I was raised on country sunshine You love me and its inviting, to go where life is more exciting But I was raised on country sunshine Mmm, mmm I was raised on country sunshine Oh, oh I was raised on country sunshine Mmm, mmm I was raised on country sunshine
