Story Behind The Song
This one was inspired by hearing Jimmie Allen being interviewed on a podcast. He was talking about how he grew up in rural Delaware, driving trucks on back roads, fishing, hunting and listening to country music.
He said people were surprised that he was from Delaware and into country music. He replied, "There's country everywhere!" I thought it could be a crowd pleaser in concerts in many cities since it mentions a lot of places around the country.

Lyrics
Country Everywhere (Lucy LeBlanc, Bill O'Hanlon, Kevin Herchen)
There's a small town in every big city
There's a dirt road off every highway
Even from a high rise you can see some blue sky
Everything is country if you see it through the right eyes
If you got a radio
You can hear it everywhere you go
It ain't just Austin Texas Nashville Tennessee
It sows it seeds like a tumbleweed
Oklahoma to Tacoma
California Arizona
From Bakersfield to Delaware
There's country everywhere
If you've got a truck and a fishin' pole
If you been skinny dippin in a swimmin' hole
Don't matter where you're from if it's in your blood
Your hearts starts pumpin' when the steel guitars are strummin'
Find it everywhere across this land
Two step, line dance, dive-bar band
Chorus repeat
From Wall Street to the county fairs
There's country everywhere
