[Verse 1]
Guess it was all in my head
I thought all dirt was red
"Yes Sir, Yes Ma'am"
Was something everyone said
You drove a Chevy or Ford
And every house had a porch
With a old bird dog
Sleeping by the screen door

[Chorus]
I didn't I was a way back in the pines Friday night kid
I was just cuttin' up like my dad did
Thought every boy in the world
Put a ring on their high school girl
For eighteen years, I didn't know I talked funny
Didn't know we were poor, thought we had plenty of money
Thought everybody had piece of mind, and a piece of land
I didn't know I was country
Thank God I am

[Verse 2]
You went to school to play ball
Cranked up some '90s McGraw
Thought everybody said gracе, and everybody said "Y'all"
(That's right y'all)
[Chorus]
I didn't I was a way back in the pinеs Friday night kid
I was just cuttin' up like my dad did
Thought every boy in the world
Put a ring on their high school girl
For eighteen years, I didn't know I talked funny
Didn't know we were poor, thought we had plenty of money
Thought everybody had piece of mind, and a piece of land
I didn't know I was country
Thank God I am

[Bridge]
It's just the way I thought it was
You work a forty-hour week for a cold beer buzz
'Til I hit them city limits
I didn't know no different

[Chorus]
I didn't I was a way back in the pines Friday night kid
I was just cuttin' up like my dad did
Thought every boy in the world
Put a ring on their high school girl
For eighteen years, I didn't know I talked funny
Didn't know we were poor, thought we had plenty of money
Thought everybody had piece of mind, and a piece of land
If you'd come from a town like mine, you'd understand
I didn't know I was country
Thank God I am
