Sung By: John Anderson
Written By: Curtis Wright and Marty Stuart
Let's take the country back!!
Intro: (x2)?
Goin' down to Muscle Shoals * Where the swamp water rhythm
flows * Live the only way I know * I'm just a common man * Headed
down to Texas way * Where the honky tonk heroes play * Gonna find
that lost highway * That's where I'll make a stand *
Chorus:
Takin' the country back * It's high time we face the facts * Heart and
soul slippin' through the cracks * We're takin' the country back *
Takin' the country back * We're not sure just where it's at * We've
got to get it back on track * We're takin' the country back *
(same chords as above)
Bright lights and limousines * Fame and fortune I have seen * Still
searchin' for that dream * It's callin' me back home * Down to earth
where the music's real * Singin' 'bout what the people feel * Timeless
truth, now that's the deal * We got to pass in on, y'all * (Chorus x 3)
(after 3 chorus)
We're takin' the country back * Takin' the country on back *
