Lyrics

Granddaddy had a cabin up on Flat Rock Ridge
Spent my summers there when I was a kid
When daddy passed on, I got the key
And 67 acres with a spring-fed stream
I'm headed there tonight
Leave the city life behind

I'm a get my country on
I'm a hear me a country song
Let loose and sing along those
Long Gone Lonesome Blues
I'm a take my sweet, sweet time
Take a little pinch, sip a little shine
I don't mind saying, I've been waiting too long
To get my country on

Ain't no television, no telephone
Just a vintage twelve-tube radio
If you fiddle with the dial, and hit it just right
You can catch the Opry on a Saturday night
Kick back and take it in
Just the way granddaddy did

I'm a get my country on
I'm a hear me a country song
Let loose and sing along those
Long Gone Lonesome Blues
I'm a take my sweet, sweet time
Take a little pinch, sip a little shine
I don't mind saying, I've been waiting too long
To get my country on

There's something 'bout breathing that mountain air
Sittin' on the porch in a rockin' chair
Just 5 miles and I'll be there

I'm a get my country on
I'm a hear me a country song
Let loose and sing along those
Long Gone Lonesome Blues
I'm a take my sweet, sweet time
Take a little pinch, sip a little shine
I don't mind saying, I've been waiting too long
To get my country on
