I Ain't Country (I'm Just Rural)

I Ain’t Country (I’m Just Rural)

Needed an escape from the traffic jams, planes flyin’ over my head
No more highrise concrete buildings, got mountains instead
Made a great big break from the great big world
I ain’t country, I’m just rural

Don’t have to hear that noise pollution goin’ all day and night
Never gonna breathe any air that’s brown
True blue skies in sight
Made a great big break from the great big world
I ain’t country, I’m just rural

Lookin’ for a spot that’s outta the way, with peace and quiet too
It’s way out west of the interstate, a real Kalamazoo
My baby snuggle’s up boot cuts and curls
She ain’t country, she’s my girl

I found me a place to call my own, city life can’t compare
Where people are friendly and work outside, they go to the county fair
And they don’t give a hoot ‘bout diamonds and pearls
They ain’t country, “We just like Merle” (Haggard)

Don’t like to dress up aristocrat
Jean, boots, a cowboy hat
My belt and buckle are as big as they came
It’s made outta leather but it doesn’t say my name

I live my life the natural way, you could say down on the farm
I got me some land and some animals too, doin’ nobody no harm
I made a great big break from the great big world
I ain’t country...

I ain’t country, just rural!
