Country In My Genes Lyrics


Well, they say that I'm too country, the way I look and sound
They wanna to make me over, just a little more uptown
Say I need to change my image, now tell me what's that mean
Don't they know I've got country in my genes?Well, I can't help the way I talk, I wouldn't change it if I could
Sophisticated ain't my style, but country fits me good
I ain't ashamed to wear what's been handed down to me
Lord, I've got country in my genesI've got country in my genes, country in my blood
It goes back generations, it's something I'm proud of
It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see
I'm just an old hillbilly with a country song to sing
Lord, I've got country in my genesOh, that Earl ScruggsIf country's hit the big time, me I'm still the same
I ain't above my raisin' and I ain't about to change
I wouldn't trade my Wranglers for the finest gabardine
Lord, I've got country in my genesI've got country in my genes, country in my blood
It goes back generations, it's something I'm proud of
It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see
I'm just an old hillbilly with a country song to sing
Lord, I've got country in my genesI've got country in my genes, country in my blood

It goes back generations, it's something I'm proud of
It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see
I'm an old Kentucky hillbilly with a country song to sing
Lord, I've got country in my genesLord, I've got country in my genes

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Loretta Lynn (born April 14, 1935 in Butcher Hollow,Van Lear, Kentucky) is an American country singer who was the leading country female vocalist during much of the 1960's and 1970's. In the 1970's she became one of the most famous women in all of America and frequently made "most admired women" polls alongside first ladies and world leaders.

According to Songfacts, Loretta Lynn's superstar Country career started in 1960 when she recorded " I'm a Honky Tonk Girl " as her debut single. The song was a minor hit, climbing to #14 on Billboard's C&W Chart. By the late 1960s she had begun picking up various Female Vocalist of the Year trophies and in 1972 the singer became the first woman in history to win the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year trophy. Lynn dominated the Country charts throughout the rest of the decade and has continued to record hit records through the ensuing years. Her 50th anniversary year began with the award of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement on January 31, 2010.

Lynn has released over 70 albums. She is the sister of famous country singer Crystal Gayle (born in Paintsville, Kentucky) and Peggy Sue, and is a cousin of Patty Loveless. Her father was a coal miner in Van Lear. Her biography was made into the 1980 film, Coal Miner's Daughter.
