Well I was raised on country classics
Like Roy Acuff and George Jones
Lord I love'd to hear 'em
E7
Sing all them old time country songs
A
But I really got excited
'bout the time I turned 15
D7
That's the first time I heard Waylon
and old Bocephus sing
A
They put some drive in their country
EA
That really turned me on
D7
Yea, put some drive in your country
A
Keep country drivin' on
D7
When the music gets you movin'
BE
You know that can't be wrong
A
Everytime I hear that Outlaw stuff
On my car radio
D7
It makes me wanna drive it
Just as fast as it will go
A
Put some drive in your country
EA
Let's keep country drivin' on
A
We played some shows in Atlanta
On Sunday afternoons
The gigs were packed and I was nervous
E
Cause I wanted folks to like my tunes
A
The crowds were full of younger people
They were all about my age
D7
So I turned and told the band
Just before we walked on stage
A
Put some drive in your country fellas
EA
We turned those people on
D7
Yea put some drive in your country
A
Keep country drivin' on
D7
When the music gets you dancin'
BE
You know that can't be wrong
A
See I made myself a promise
When I was just a kid
D7
I'd mix southern rock and country
And that's just what I did
A
Put some drive in your country
EA
Keep country drivin' on
HEY-YEA-YEA-YEA
(Instrumental Break)
D7
Put some drive in your country
A
Hey let's keep country drivin on
D7
When the music gets you movin'
BE
You know that can't be wrong
A
I still love old country
I ain't tryin' to put it down
D7
Damn I miss Duanne Allman
I wish he was still around
A
Put some drive in the country
EA
Keep country drivin' on
D
HEY-YEAA
Put some drive in the country
EA
Let's keep country drivin' on
