Ride Through the Country - Colt Ford/John Michael Montgomery

Thank y'all how y'all doing

Yeh my names Colt Ford

I jus came here

To do a little song for y'all

About where I come from

The way I see it

I brought my buddy

Mr. John Michael Montgomery with me

He's gunna play a lil guitar

And sing a lil bit

I'm gonna do a lil something

For y'all called ride through the country

Let's go John

Down the road where the black top ends

You can find Colt Ford with all his friends

We're used to gravel roads and fishing

With cane poles wasn't no swimming pools

Jus swimming holes

We was dirt road poor

And cane switched raised

I've been came a long way

Since back in them days

Been around the world

Twice seen all fifty states

Ate on thousand dollar China

But love some paper plates

There ain't nothing wrong with them big

City lights but me

I prefer them slow country nights

Where I can see the darkness

Come in and go

Most folks is honest

And they all speak slow

You can leave your door open

Ain't nothing not happen

Most country folks

Sing but I couldn't so I'm rapping

I wanna show y'all where I come from

And invite y'all all down

To any country town

Now before I pack my things and leave

There's something

I need y'all to understand

I seen a lot things in my life time

That's why I walk the line

I'm just a simple man

And I ain't in the things for cheep thrills

But all my scars heel so

Don't you ever cry for me

'Cos I ain't ashamed where I'm from

You always will come

Take a ride through the country

Up dressed and gone by 5 am

He's country

And he's rapping we gotta play him

Folks been waiting for someone like me

To give them some heartbeats

And spit that country

My jeans don't sag they fit

They kinda tight

Got on a white t-shirt

No nothing but work

Daylight till dark

That's how I was bread

And I'll keep being country

Till the day I'm dead

See country folks eat biscuits

Called cat heads

Barbeque baked beans sweet tea

And white bread we like to fish and

Hunt ain't scared of a fight

Love the good lord

And believe in doing right

Got 4-wheel drives

Some got mud on them

You can keep your rolls roice

'Cuz baby

We don't want them

So now y'all all know

Exactly who I am

And if you ain't into that

I don't give a damn

Now before I pack my things and leave

There's something

I need y'all to understand

I seen lotta things in my life time

That's why I walk the line

I'm just a simple man

And I ain't in the things

For cheep thrills

But all my scars heel so

Don't you ever cry for me

'Cos I ain't ashamed where I'm from

You always will come

Take a ride through the country

You might see me on your tv

But honey

That don't mean a thing you see

I'm still that same old country boy

And that's all I'll ever be

And sometime

Those bright lights blind me

And make it hard for me to see

But when I need to be reminded

I take a ride through the country

At about 5 o'clock on Friday afternoon

Them country boys head down

To the local saloon

You welcome to stop in and have a

Cold bottle big city boys

And stuck up super models

We don't care where ya from

As long as you polite

'Cuz push come to

Shove and every one of us will fight

We mostly easy like Sunday morning

Old Colt came here to give y'all fair warning

Country folks won't be pushed around and

There's some of us living in every town

We believe in the bible

And the USA work hard for what you want

It's the American way

Nobody owe you nothing

Supposed to earn your keep

But in a hard days work

Get a good nights sleep

I know some of y'all

Think Colt's kinda odd

But I'm loud

Proud and country by the grace of god

Now before I pack my things and leave

There's something

I need y'all to understand

I seen a lot things in my life time

That's why I walk the line

I'm just a simple man

And I ain't in the things

For cheep thrills

But all my scars heel so

Don't you ever cry for me

'Cos I ain't ashamed where I'm from

You always will come

Take a ride through the country

Ahh
