Put Some Drive In Your Country Lyrics

Travis Tritt Put Some Drive In Your Country

Well I was raised on country classics
Like Roy Acuff and George Jones
Lord I loved to hear 'em
Sing all them old time country songs

But I really got excited 'bout the time I turned 15
That's the first time I heard Waylon and old Bocephus sing
They put some drive in their country
That really turned me on

Yeah, put some drive in your country
Keep country drivin' on
When the music gets you movin'
You know that can't be wrong

Every time I hear that outlaw stuff on my car radio
It makes me wanna drive it just as fast as it will go
Put some drive in your country
Let's keep country drivin' on

We played some shows in Atlanta
On Sunday afternoons
The gigs were packed and I was nervous
'Cause I wanted folks to like my tunes

The crowds were full of younger people
They were all about my age
So I turned and told the band just before we walked on stage
Put some drive in your country fellas, we turned those people on
Oh yes we did

Yeah, put some drive in your country
Keep country drivin' on, oh
When the music gets you dancin'
You know that can't be wrong

See I made myself a promise when I was just a kid
I'd mix southern rock and country and that's just what I did
Put some drive in the country
Keep country drivin' on

Hey, put some drive in your country
Hey, let's keep country drivin' on
When the music gets you movin'
You know that can't be wrong, oh girl

Well I still love old country, I ain't tryin' to put it down
Damn I miss Duanne Allman, I wish he was still around
Put some drive in the country
Keep country drivin' on
Hey yeah put some drive in the country
Hey let's keep country drivin' on, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, alright
