Burning Inside Me

I ain't got a thing against rock and roll
but I got a lotta country way down deep in my soul.
Whenever I hear a good ole country song,
All I wanna do is dance and sing along.
Some folks think that I'm just a little too proud.
If I sing along with the band, it's a little too loud.
Well that's not quite the way I want it to be
but I gotta lotta country burnin' inside of me.
(chorus)
I listen to the all night radio.
When they play those country songs, I'm ready to go.
A country singer is what I'd love to be,
'cause there's a whole lotta country burnin' inside of me.

I remember a dance, on one Saturday night,
I got a little drunk and I ended up in a fight.
somebody said we ought to rock this place.
Then I turned around and I punched him in his face.
Then I was on the outside lookin' around, wondering
why I was sitting there on the ground.
I needed to get back inside you see.
There was still a lotta country burnin' inside of me.

I cant see why everybody has a fit,
when I hear the music I stand right in front of it.
I love to hear a fiddle sawing away
and a steel guitar playing 'till the break of day.
It's great to be a country music loving fan.
It's been my thing since I was just a young man.
Maybe it's running through my blood you see,
but there's a whole lotta country burnin' inside of me.
(repeat chorus)
