The Country Way Lyrics

Why do I do things this way?

Some people might not like it, but that's okay.

But I do things the country way.

It's the country way, when the going gets tough,

Finding my own path when the road gets rough.

Some call it crazy, but I call it play,

Living my life in the country way.

I've stirred some trouble, made the Mounties frown,

But I flash a grin, and they let me stick around.

Cards on the table, always ready for a bet,

I've got a quick word—never lost one yet.

Y'know, it's all in good fun.

It's the country way, when the going gets tough,

Finding my own path when the road gets rough.

Some call it crazy, but I call it play,

Living my life in the country way.

"I'd like someone who'll ride with me, come rain or shine,

Who's not afraid to get dirty, or weather winter's grind.

We'll dance to the moonlight, boots on the ground,

With someone like that, I will know what we've found."

Under prairie skies, no regrets, no fear,

Every scar tells a story, every path runs clear.

We've been through blizzards and nights that don't end,

But there's always a sunrise waiting 'round the bend.

We freeze through the nights, and the wind cuts like a knife,

But summer's long light makes it all feel just right.

Through frost and snow, we make it through,

Because every warm day feels like it's brand new.

It's the country way, when the going gets tough,

Finding my own path when the road gets rough.

Some call it crazy, but I call it play,

Living my life in the country way.

"From the fields to the skies, it's the best place to be,

The prairies are home, and they'll always be for me.

There's nowhere else I'd plant my song,

This land, these people—it's where I belong."

It's the country way, when the going gets tough,

Finding my own path when the road gets rough.

Some call it crazy, but I call it play,

Living my life in the country way.

Through the frost, the mud, and the scorching heat,

I'll keep on going, doing things my way—complete.
