I'm from the Country and I'm proud of it
I’m from potholes in the middle of the road
from white cotton dresses and cowgirl boots
from tenting and camping in the woods
from roasting marshmallows on a stick
from lying in the tall grass counting stars
from watching waves wash over the rocks
from snow storms leaving 4 feet of snow behind
from snow forts and snow ball fights
from frostbite and pink noses
from miles and miles of trees lining roads
from mudding, plowing, and riding
from hills and mountains
from fishing and hunting
from owning a gun is a necessity
from girls trading in mustangs for trucks
from eyeliner on the top lash
from skinny jeans so tight your feet go to sleep
from bruises, scratches, and concussions
from Timber Tina Lumberjack Shows
from knowing everyone in town
from Bell’s, Carter’s, and Dority’s
from tubing, swimming, hot dog eating, and laughing
I’m from the country, and I’m proud of it.
