I was raised on the river on the Indiana line
Learned all the ways a country boy can survive
With a shotgun, rifle, and a four-wheel drive
That's right

I've rode the honky-tonk highway north to south
Seen some down-home folks in a big city crowd
So if you're worried this way of life's dying out
I can tell you right now

Country ain't going nowhere, ain't going nowhere, no way, no how
I can guaran-damn-tee them boys like me are always gonna be around
You can take the boots out the mud
Pour the beer out the can
Take the hitch off the truck
Kick the fiddle out the band
Take the stars out thе sky
Take the dirt off the roads
But I'll tеll you one place country ain't gonna go
Country ain't going nowhere, ain't going nowhere, no way, no how
Country ain't going nowhere
Country ain't going nowhere

Small towns turning into big towns turning red dirt into parking lots
Boondocks turning into blacktop turning backroads into four-way stops
If you didn't know no better
You'd see them cities growing up and you'd start to think
This redneck, blue-collar, bust-your-back-for-a-dollar simple life's sitting on E
But country ain't going nowhere, ain't going nowhere, no way, no how
I can guaran-damn-tee them boys like me are always gonna be around
You can take the boots out the mud
Pour the beer out the can
Take the hitch off the truck
Kick the fiddle out the band
Take the stars out the sky
Take the dirt off the roads
But I'll tell you one place country ain't gonna go
Country ain't going nowhere, ain't going nowhere, no way, no how
Country ain't going nowhere
Country ain't going nowhere

Country ain't going nowhere, ain't going nowhere, no way, no how
I can guaran-damn-tee them boys like me are always gonna be around
You can take the boots out the mud
Pour the beer out the can
Take the hitch off the truck
Kick the fiddle out the band
Take the stars out the sky
Take the dirt off the roads
But I'll tell you one place country ain't gonna go
Country ain't going nowhere, ain't going nowhere, no way, no how
Country ain't going nowhere
Country ain't going nowhere
Country ain't going nowhere, ain't going nowhere, no way, no how
Country ain't going nowhere
Country ain't going nowhere
