Well, I spent my whole upbringin'
Workin' on singin' a song
And that turned into dreamin'
'Bout the whole world singin' along
So I moved on over to Nashville
Signed on the bottom line
When I threw down my low country sound
It was just a matter of time

Now my face is on your T-shirt
I'm ridin' 'round in a bus
Me and my band runnin' 'cross the land
Everybody chasin' us
I'm a member of the Grand Ole Opry
People like the way I sing
I'm shakin' your hand and thankin'
the man for this country music thing
This country music thi-ing-ing-ing

John Anderson and Randy Travis
They've been good to me
Told me take care of my money
And it'll take care of me
I been all over this country
Been to some others too
It never gets old and every record sold
Keeps me comin' back to you

And my face is on your T-shirt
I'm ridin' 'round in a bus
Me and my band runnin' 'cross the land
Everybody chasin' us
I'm a member of the Grand Ole Opry
People like the way I sing
I'm shakin' your hand and thankin'
the man for this country music thing
This country music thi-ing-ing-ing

Well, I don't take nothin' for granted
And there's one thing I understand
I've been around the world
and I ain't found nothin' like a country music fan
I said country music fans

And my face is on your T-shirt
I'm ridin' 'round in a bus
Me and my band runnin' 'cross the land
Everybody chasin' us
I'm a member of the Grand Ole Opry
People like the way I sing
I'm shakin' your hand and thankin'
the man for this country music thing
This country music thing
This country music thi-ing-ing-ing

I'm digging up bones, I'm digging up bones
Blow, blow Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
Ramblin' fever
I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' 'round the bend
Well way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hootchie cootchie
I'm walking on the floor over you
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Oh, rainy day woman
I never seem to see you for the good times
Out in North Carolina, way back in the hills
Lived my ol' pappy and he had him a still
Hey Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can
Mississippi River couldn't keep us apart
There's too much love in this Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Well, you're headed right in the wrong direction, honey
If you wanna come home
A country boy can survive
