[Verse 1]
Well, I've been gone for so long
It's sure good to get back home
Back to those familiar faces
Smilin' right back at me
And there's a rainbow in the sky
A certain twinkle in her eye
That makes me believe in what I am
What I wanna be

[Chorus]
And don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while

[Verse 2]
And, oh Lord, it feels so right
Just a-sittin' by the campfire light
Tradin' tunes and feelin' my friends
Are pointin' right back at me
You look around as you pick your song
Everybody's grinin' and playin' along
And when the chorus rolls around
Everybody joins in
[Chorus]
Don't it make you wanna dancе?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you'rе down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Don't it make you wanna dance?
And don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while (Yeah)
And don't it make you wanna dance? (Hey)
And don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while (Everybody)
And don't it make you wanna dance?
And don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while, yeah
And don't it make you wanna dance?
And don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down
Down, down, down
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
