[Verse 1]
I've been gone for so long
It's sure good to get back home
Back to those familiar faces
Smilin' right back at me
There's a rainbow in the sky
A certain twinkle in their eye
They believe in what I am
And what I wanna be
[Chorus]
Now, don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
[Verse 2]
Oh Lord, it feels so right
Just a-sittin' by the campfire light
A-tradin' a tune, and feelin' my freedom
A-comin' right back again
You look around as you pick your song
Everybody's grinnin' and playin' along
And when the chorus rolls around
Everybody joins in
[Chorus]
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
[Chorus]
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Don't it make you wanna dance? (oh, honey!)
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
[Chorus]
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while (one more time!)
[Chorus]
Don't it make you wanna dance? (aw, yeah, now!)
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
[Outro]
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
