Well, I've been gone for so long
Feels so good just to get back home
Back to my friends and all the faces
I love to see
Like a rainbow in the sky
A certain twinkle that's in her eye
Telling me they believe in what I am
And what I want to be

Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Could you 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
Could you sing a while?

Oh Lord, don't it feel right tonight
Makin' music when you feel just right
And feeling better with every single song
And look around everyone is a friend
And every single one has found his friend
So when the chorus comes around
They have a body to bone, yeah
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Could you 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
Could you 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
Could you 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
Could you sing a while?
