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



Yeah, put some drive in your country

Keep country drivin' on

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 your country

Keep country drivin' on



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

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



Put some drive in the country

Let's keep country drivin' on
