Luke Bryan - What Makes You Country Lyrics






People talkin' 'bout what is and what ain't country
What gives 'em the right to wear a pair of beat-up boots?
Is it the size of your tires and your fires, or your wild ass buddies?
Well, give me a minute, let me hit you with some hometown truth

You could be a cowboy on the Texas plain
Or a plowboy waitin' on the rain
We're all a little different, but we're all the same
Everybody doin' their own thing

I got my dirt road cred when I was 12
On a no cab tractor hauling 'em bales
Backing in boats, fishing limb lines
Running bird dogs through the Georgia pines
Step side covered down in peanut dust
Friday night spotlighting, that was us
It might not've been you, but I can't judge
Just be proud of what makes you country

Does it run in your blood?
Did it come from your daddy and mama?
Were you converted by an Alabama song on the radio?
It feels so right
Did you lock eyes with a little green eyed girl from Jackson?
Tell me what got ya, I just gotta know

Me, I got my Sunday learning in a live-oak church
Silver Queen corn in the backyard dirt
Waiting for the fall to finally come along
So I can grab my gun and get my outside on
Step side covered down in peanut dust
Friday night spotlighting, that was us
It might not've been you, but I can't judge
Just be proud of what makes you country

Might be from a city or a little farm town
Whatever kind of square that you drove around
Do you wear it on your sleeve or keep it deep down?
You know you gotta let it out

I got my dirt road cred back when I was 12
On a no cab tractor haulin' 'em bales
Backing in boats, fishing limb lines
Running bird dogs through the Georgia pines
Step side covered down in peanut dust
Friday night spotlighting, that was us
It might not've been you, but I ain't judge
And just be proud of what makes you country
Whatever makes you country

You do your kinda country
They doing their kind of country
I do my kind of country
Whatever makes us country

    If you didn't grow up with the smell of wet dogs, Campfires, Cigarette smoke, Water from the hose, A wild side? You're not country. I was born in michigan. Raised swimming in lakes, Fishing, Hunting, and working hard. If you don't have values, If you don't work hard, If you're not laidback. If you're not from the country, You're NOT country!

    People who consider this garbage along with everything else coming out of Nashville country music dont love country music nor what country music is. As someone born and raised in the birthplace of country music (Bristol, TN/VA) i find it offensive to call this country. If they were around today Mother Maybelle, Hiram King William's (HANK) , Marty, lefty, Patsy, Waylon, Ernest , and Jimmie Rodgers would slap the shit out of y'alls musically illiterate asses. Country music is nothing more than 4 chords and truth from the heart. Country music is about everything from depression, love, trials and tribulations, death, hardships, addiction, raising hell, etc. Being about to feel all of those things as the artist performs their song is what makes a country song. Not about your truck or about plowing a field or red solo cups, or even being from the south. Most of those being called country today don't even write their own material. LASTLY here's some (Real)modern country artist for yall to check out.
    Jason Isbell
    Hank Williams iii
    Vincent Neil Emerson
    LOST DOG STREET BAND
    Benjamin tod
    Tyler Childers
    Charley Crockett
    Colter Wall

    Sturgill Simpson
    Zach Bryan
    Turnpike Troubadours
    Ryan Bingham
    Drive-By Truckers

    Does Luke even read the comments? I mean hes got a lot. What made me country was the outdoors. I remember setting my craw traps when I was 8 and eating what I caught. Fishing whenever I get the chance. Just enjoying the sound of the rain on a tin roof. Blowing some quail out of the sky when I was 10 with a 12 gauge. Whatever makes you country, doesn't matter what. It who you are and the environment you thoroughly enjoy! Myself, loves what made me country and I'm damn proud of it.

  70. M.... C....

    Like I said it runs in the family country all the way

    M.... C....

    TOTEM.. WHAT MAKES ME COUNTRY.
    Thousands of squirrels killed
    Hundreds of rabbits killed.
    Mushroom hunting. Morels
    8 whitetail killed
    Dove hunting by sunflower seeds.
    Crawling out of the back of a van with my soon to be ex-wife naked catching two catfish at once.
    Ford 390 33 inch tires when I was 15.
    Over 20 whitetail mounted.
    Growing marijuana under pine trees.
    Crossville has the world's largest flea market 5 miles long.
    Clifty river.

    I guess what makes me country is that I grew up in a one road town in California near the Sequoias. Went fishing, hiking, rode in my dad's Jeep and went on bike rides with my neighbors and owned a ton of cats. Not to mention a pot bellied pig and a bird dog we still have today.

  94. S.... W....

    love the country life
