A Little More Country Than That
Easton Corbin Lyrics

Imagine a dirt road full of pot holes
Envision a bumpy, rugged dirt road filled with potholes

With a creek bank and some cane poles
Picture a stream shoreline with fishing rods made from bamboo

Catching channel cat
Fishing for catfish, especially the channel catfish species

I'm a little more country than that
I'm more of a humble, rural person with a simple way of life

Picture a small town with an old hound
Imagine a quaint community with a loyal, aging dog resting in front of the courthouse

Laying out front of the court house
The dog is lying down in front of the town's legal building

While the old men chew the fat
As the elder men chit chat or gossip with each other

I'm a little more country than that
I prefer the traditional values and customs of a rural lifestyle over a modern, urban one

I just want to make sure you know just who you're getting under, this old hat
I want to ensure you understand the type of person I am before we enter into a relationship

Cause girl I'm not the kind of two time or play games behind your back
I'm an honest and faithful person who wouldn't cheat or deceive you

Think of a hank song from days gone
Recall a classic tune by Hank Williams or a similar artist from a past era

With a steel ride that's so strong
Featuring a steel guitar that produces powerfully emotional sounds

It sends chills up your back
The music evokes deep feelings and emotions that stir the soul

If you want a brick home in a school zone
If you desire a large, expensive house in a prestigious neighborhood with good schools

With the doors locked and alarms on
And need to secure your home with advanced locking technology

Girl, you're way off track
Then you're looking for someone who has very different values and priorities than me

Yeah, I'm sure that you've heard those three words from others
I understand that others may have said 'I love you' to you before

But they fell flat
But those words lacked sincerity and didn't hold true meaning

But this ring ain't something that I mean to give you and then take back
However, the ring I'm giving you is a symbol of my true and devoted love that won't be taken away

I'm a little more country than that
I may not fit the conventional mold of a modern, city person and instead value the simple, honest and genuine traits of a rural lifestyle

I'm a little more country than that
Overall, my identity and values reflect my preference for country living and its associated customs and traditions
