I drive a compact SUV with a straight four-engine inside
And I think the Union won the war but I respect your pride
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
I'm not country but I like the 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
I don't like watching nascar but God bless the number 3
I cheer on the Pittsburgh Steelers
I don't watch the SEC
I don't shot 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
I'm not country but I like the 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, oh-oh
I like pretty southern belles
And I like to take things slow
But my cousins are NYPDs and I can drive in the snow
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 going to my head
I'm not country but I like the country
I'm not saying I'm the real deal
But 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
Oh, oh, oh
Here we go
