Well, you must be from the city
'Cause you sure ain't from round here
There ain't no smoke free section
We don't sell no import beerYou been throwin' round that attitude
Since you walked through the door
I don't know where you come from
But you ain't there anymoreWhen in Rome
You can do like the Romans
But where you're down home
You better do like usYou've been lookin' down your nose
At our water tower town
Ain't no one gettin' rich
But there's enough to go aroundIf you don't like Tracy's cookin'
Well, you best still leave a tip
She's back there in that kitchen
With a baby on her hipWhen in Rome
You can do like the Romans
But where you're down home
You better do like usYou put your best foot forward
When you go to meet a man
Look him in the eye
And put a good grip on his handDon't cuss around the ladies
Tell us how to raise our kids
We like doin' business
Like our daddy's daddies did, alrightWhen you drive off in your beamer
If you don't do 35
Don't give no lip to Buford
Or he might just dot your eyeAnd when your at the courthouse
Before ol' Judge McCall
You'd best not say a word 'bout
Ten Commandments on his wall, nawWhen in Rome
You can do like the Romans
But where you're down home
You better do like usWhen in Rome
You can do like the Romans
But where you're down home
You better do like usYou better do like us, boy
Don't you comin' here talkin' all that trash
You might get your nose smashedYeah, when in Rome
You can do like the Romans
YeahYou better do like us
You better do like us
You better do like us
