Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Farmer John
Sittin' on a popbox
At a fruit stand on a hot day
When a city guy came drivin' by about 20 times
Finally stopped to say, "I'm from uptown, turned around.
I'm so lost, where the hell am I?"
Farmer laughed said "look here sonny, you ain't lost you found...the ...country."
CHORUS
Welcome to the country
Bugs on the windshield
Mud on the tires
A whole lot of nothing fenced in by barbwire
Welcome to the country
Dust yourself off
Grab a beer
Everybody's welcome here
Whoa oh oh oh
Welcome to the country
VERSE 2:
About that time ClaraBelle walked in
With a gas can and no ring on her left hand
Cutoff shorts and a tank top
I watched that city boy's jaw drop
Then her long legs walked out, he turned and said
"that's what I'm talkin' about?"
Farmer laughed, said "Look here here sonny, that's how we grow 'em out in ...the ...country."
BRIDGE/VERSE 3:
Now the city boy's on a cell phone, tellin' all his buddies back home
Says "Drive away from those city lights
Take a left on dirt road then make a hard right
Pass Sugar (the) Creek, that's where you'll find me waitin' on you with some sweet iced tea
