Where I come from they're good at racing
Their hands on Sunday, drinks up high and a bunch of babies
Everybody knows everybody's business
Like who got drunk, who got fired, and who's been kissin'
18 years old, I hit the road
Didn't plan on lookin' back
But you don't leave with roots that deep
No matter where you're at
It's in my blood, it's in my veins
The way I talk and the way I pray
If I close my eyes, I'm there right now
You can take the girl out of the country
But the country stays running in my veins
Running in my veins
For a little while, I can tone it down
But a couple drinks or a call from momma brings it out
I'm a sucker for a romance, ooh I'd love a southern man
To hold my door and hold my hand before he gets that kiss (hey)
It's in my blood, it's in my veins
The way I talk and the way I pray
If I close my eyes, I'm there right now
You can take the girl out of the country
But the country stays running in my veins
Running in my veins
You might see me in NYC or California
But you best believe my heart is always still in Georgia
It's in my blood, it's in my veins
The way I talk and the way I pray
If I close my eyes, I'm there right now
You can take the girl out of the country
But the country stays running in my veins
Running in my veins
It's running in my veins
Oh it's running in my veins
Baby, running in my veins
Ooh it's running in my veins
Baby, running in my veins
