Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

I drive a compact SUV with a straight four engine inside.

And I think the Union won the war but I respect your pride.

(Bass )

And I don't chew tobacco but man I'll drink your beer,

I was born up above the Dixie line and I ended up down here.

Chorus

I'm not country but I like your country, I know where I'm from.

 When I hear your songs on the radio, I start having fun.

 I'm so down with deep fried chicken; Jesus saved my soul.

 Yeah I'm a northern city boy and this ain't Rock and roll.

Verse 2

I don't like watching NASCAR but God bless the number 3.

I cheer on the Pittsburgh Steelers, I don't watch the SEC,

  -(Bass )

I don't shoot guns or ride horses but I'll give 'em both a try.

 If Johnny Cash ever heard this song I bet he'd start to cry.

Chorus 2

I'm not country but I like your country, I know where I'm from.

 When I hear your songs on the radio, I start having fun.

 I'm so down with deep fried chicken; Jesus saved my soul.

 Yeah I'm a northern city boy and this ain't Rock and roll.

No ooh oh

Verse 3

I like pretty southern bells and I like to take things slow

 But my cousins are NYPDs and I can drive in the snow.

  -(Bass )

Yeah I grew up playing in the dirt up where it ain't red

 And I got one pair of cowboy boots but they ain't gone to my head.

Final Chorus:

 I'm not country but I like the country,

 I'm not saying that I'm the real deal

 And when your songs come on the radio, I like the way I feel.

 I'm so down with deep fried chicken; Jesus saved my soul.

 Yeah I'm a northern city boy but this ain't, no this ain't rock and roll,

This ain't rock and roll ohh oh oh, here we go.
