Can’t Hide Country

[Verse 1: Colt Ford]
I got a buddy, a downhome side
He's splitting from the sticks for some big city lights
To make the good money, walk the concrete
Gonna burn a page, turn a leaf
Take his hillbilly habits, put 'em on a shelf
Widen his mind to culture his self
I said go ahead, get where you gonna get
But when you get gone, don't forget

[Chorus: Colt Ford]
You can clean the mud off your truck
Make it seem like you ain't skinned a buck
And buy a white collar, put it on
Probably cover up your redneck
But, boy, you still got it
You can keep the south in your mouth
But when you get to drinking, it's gonna fly out
It's always gonna find you, y'all, it's kinda funny
When you come where you're from
You can run, but you can't hide country

[Post-Chorus: Colt Ford]
No, you can't hide country

[Verse 2: Tyler Booth, Tyler Booth & Colt Ford]
Yeah, still gonna shoot Beam, sip PBR
Still gonna sing Hank when they play it in the bar
Still gonna have a wintergreen denim jean ring
And a spit cup 'cause it's in your blood

[Chorus: Tyler Booth]
You can clean the mud off your truck
Make it seem like you ain't skinned a buck
Buy a white collar, put it on
Probably cover up your redneck
But, boy, you still got it
You can keep the south in your mouth
But when you get to drinking, it's gonna fly out
It's always gonna find you, y'all, it's kinda funny
When you come where you're from
You can run, but you can't hide country

[Bridge: Tyler Booth & Colt Ford]
And why would you?
Makes all the girls love you, makes 'em all say, "Could you
Slide a little closer, say something Southern in my ear?"
Yeah, they're down with that ain't-from-around-here
Yes, they are

[Chorus: Colt Ford]
You can clean the mud off your truck
Make it seem like you ain't skinned a buck
And buy a white collar, put it on
Probably cover up your redneck
But, boy, you still got it
You can keep the south in your mouth
But when you get to drinking, it's gonna fly out
It's always gonna find you, y'all, it's kinda funny
When you come where you're from
You can run, but you can't hide country

[Outro: Colt Ford & Tyler Booth]
No, you can't hide country
Can't hide country
No, you can't hide country
Can't hide country
