Crank it

Where she grew up there ain't no roads
Out in the sticks where the ginsing grows

She float down the river to get to school
Then her daddy come get her on a ole pack mule

She runs back and forth from shed to shack
Checking on the moonshine brewing out back

If you don't get the picture by now
Then wait a minute

(Chorus)

She got a bible, she's born again
She got a shotgun, she ain't afraid of sin
She's got rebel rising routy friends singing oohhh ohh ohhh

She got a Trans Am with a trailer hitch
She got horses, cows, and Dixie Chicks
She goes honky tonking just for kicks

If that ain't country
I, don't, know, what, is

She plant 50 acres, the seed in the hole
Come fall you get lost in the tall corns rows

Don't need know phone where she come from
She just holler from the mountain and the boys all run... fast

You might see her truck rolling out of the woods
With a 12 point buck laid across the hood

If you don't get the picture by now
Then wait a minute

Chrous

If you don't get the picture by now
Then wait a minute

Chrous

I don't know what is
I don't know what
I don't know what is
