♪♪♪

♪ I quit hunting with my daddy ♪

♪ Guess I didn't make the time ♪

♪ And it's been a year since I've seen a deer ♪

♪ Had a smallmouth on the line ♪

♪ The other day I hooked a monster ♪

♪ And as I reeled him in ♪

♪ I thought man it feels good to be country again ♪

♪ I spent way less time in Nashville ♪

♪ And more time in LA ♪

♪ My back home buddies they quit calling ♪

♪ Thought I had too much on my plate ♪

♪ But last night we cracked some cold beers ♪

♪And cranked Eric Church to ten♪

♪ Thought man it feels good to be country again ♪

♪ Yeah I love me some California ♪

♪ But it sure ain't Tennessee ♪

♪ And my roots down there in Georgia ♪

♪ Yeah they started missing me ♪

♪ And I wouldn't change the things I've done ♪

♪ Or the places that I've been ♪

♪ But man it feels good to be country again ♪

♪ I traded in my Silverado ♪

♪ I didn't need no 4x4 ♪

♪ Tucked my boots in the back of the closet ♪

♪ They didn't feel like me no more ♪

♪ But I dug 'em out and slipped 'em on ♪

♪ They've been on my feet since then ♪

♪ Man it feels good to be country again ♪

♪ Ooooh ♪

♪ Yeah I love me some California ♪

♪ But it sure ain't Tennessee ♪

♪ And my roots down there in Georgia ♪

♪ Yeah they started missing me ♪

♪ And I wouldn't change the things I've done ♪

♪ Or the places that I've been ♪

♪ But man it feels good to be country again ♪

♪I traded sunsets with my wife ♪

♪ For hours on my phone ♪

♪ And even when I was right beside her ♪

♪ I still wasn't really home ♪

♪ But last night we built a fire ♪

♪ I watched the moonlight kiss her skin ♪

♪ I thought man it feels good to be country again ♪

♪ Man it feels good to be country again ♪

♪ Ooooh ♪

♪ I saw the light ♪

♪ I found the way home ♪

♪ Thank you Lord amen ♪

♪ Man it feels good to be country again ♪
