Can’t Hide Country Lyrics by Colt Ford
(Feat. Tyler Booth)
I got a buddy, a down-home 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 them on a shelf
Widen his mind to culture his self
I said go ahead, go where you gonna get
But when you’re gone, don’t forget
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 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
No you can’t hide country
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
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 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
No you can’t hide country
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
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 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
No you can’t hide country
Can’t hide country
No you can’t hide country
Can’t hide country
