Well I was raised on country classics Like Roy Acuff and George Jones Lord, I loved to hear 'em But I really got excited 'bout the time I turned 15 That's the first time I heard Waylon and old Bocephus sing They put some drive in their country that really turned me on Yeah, put some drive in your country Keep country drivin' on When the music gets you movin' You know that can't be wrong Every time I hear that outlaw stuff on my car radio It makes me want to drive it just as fast as it will go Put some drive in your country Let's keep country drivin' on We played some shows in Atlanta on Sunday afternoons The gigs were packed and I was nervous Cause I wanted folks to like my tunes The crowds were full of younger people They were all about my age So I turned and told the band just before we walked on stage Put some drive in your country fellas We turned those people on Yeah, put some drive in your country Keep country drivin' on When the music gets you dancin' You know that can't be wrong See, I made myself a promise when I was just a kid I'd mix southern rock and country and that's just what I did Put some drive in your country Keep country drivin' on Put some drive in your country Hey, let's keep country drivin' on When the music gets you movin' You know that can't be wrong I still love old country I ain't tryin' to put it down Damn, I miss Duanne Allman I wish he was still around Put some drive in the country Keep country drivin' on Put some drive in the country Let's keep country drivin' on
