Jeff Bates Country Man Lyrics

I like hot cornbread and sweet iced tea
Homegrown tomatoes and fresh picked peas
Chicken fried steak and gravy cooked in a cast iron pan
I think dogs are worth their weight in gold

And lovin? your neighbor is good for the soul
And I believe in God
And you?ve got my word when I shake your hand
I?m a country man

I love a parade on the fourth of July
The fireworks fillin? up the sky, the stars and stripes
And the sound of a high school marching band
Yeah, and I love livin? in the land of the free

I believe in peace and harmony
And I?ll fight for it if need be I?ll take a stand
I?m a country man

It?s playin? on my radio
It?s in my heart, it?s my soul
It?s what I do and I?m proud to say it?s who I am
I?m a country man

It?s playin? on my radio
It?s in my heart, it?s my soul
It?s what I do and I?m proud to say it?s who I am
I?m a country man

I love it when the crowd is lovin? my song
Clappin? their hands and singin? along
While they stand cheerin? on me and the band
I love country fans

I?m a country man
I?m a country man
I?m a country man
