Verse 1
I just wanna make it clear from the start
That I'm just singin' with a hillbilly heart
Ain't got no half-assed goddamn city boy roots
I feel the ground on my land under my boots
Out in the open land, a man can be a man
For the neon lights I do not give a damn
Chorus
Just give me shotgun, trucks and cow
Horses, whiskey and rye
All the things that keep the beat up in this hillbilly heart
You can't change that even if you try
Verse 2
Well I don't understand the way things go down
For some people who are livin' in town
They have lost connection with reality
Living only for the fashions on tv
You know that I spend my weekends
Out hunting with my friends
And that sure as hell is better than all trains (it sure is)
Chorus
Just give me shotgun, trucks and cow
Horses, whiskey and rye
All the things that keep the beat up in this hillbilly heart
You can't change that even if you try
Guitar Solo
Verse 3
Well hey there little purdy city girl
I know that you want your diamond rings and pearls
And you think us country boys ain't any good
Cause you count money a lot higher than the woods (?)
Well you know, I think you honestly
That fancy jewelry ain't nothing to compare
To living in the free
Chorus
Cause we got shotguns, trucks and cow
Horses, whiskey and rye
All the things that keep the beat up in this hillbilly heart
Keeps the beatin, girl
Shotguns, trucks and cow
Horses, whiskey and rye
All the things that keeps the beating in this hillbilly heart
Keeps the beating 'til the day i die.
