Mo Pitney - "Country"

Written by Mo Pitney, Bill Anderson and Bobby Tomberlin. Produced by BILLY LAWSON. Released in December 2014 by Curb Records.

Have you ever picked guitar on your front porch in the morning as the sun was risin’?
Or followed your dog down to the river and ran into an old baptizin’
You think to pull off on the side of the road when that big black hearse is passin’
Have you ever helped someone in need without them even askin’?
We do that in the country
Let me tell you about country

Country can be in the middle of a city, Country can be on a farm
Country ain’t even a place on the map, it’s a place in your heart
Would you ever hitch a ride to music city just to see an Opry show
Would you drive across the country just to listen to some country?

Country can be in the middle of the city, country can be in a bar
Country ain’t even a place on the map, it’s a place in your heart

Have you ever been there at the courthouse square for the parade on the Fourth of July
With a tear on your face and a lump in your throat as you watch Old Glory go by
Or sat through a service where they play “Taps” for a soldier who never came home
Or looked in the sad brown eyes of his mama as she touched his name on that stone
He fought for his country and died for his country
Yeah, I love my country,
Let me tell you about country.
