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.
