My Country Lyrics

Yelawolf
The song “My Country Lyrics” performed by rapper Yelawolf is an example of a song which describes his personal experience of living the lifestyle of “being country.” The lyrics of the song describe Yelawolf’s vision of identity and his interpretation of a person who is considered country through the use of images such as sweet tea, UGK, tattoos, guitar, bonfire, Bible Belt, and life that exists somewhere between the city and the backwoods. It is evident that the song describes Yelawolf’s vision of being country and emphasizes the fact that there is no single way of representing oneself as being country when one has a different background than others and lives on the “wrong side of the tracks.”

My Country Song Lyrics

Get up in my sweet tea, brewing in the sun rays
I was just sixteen, bumping UGK
True spokes and white walls, getting folks and outlaws
And no tin roof, chained to my roots like a junkyard dog

It ain't always what it seems
Ain't no John Deere green
From the city to the backwoods
And I'm somewhere in between
That same old Bible Belt
Still holding up my stacks
I'm from the wrong side of the tracks
So my country doesn't look like that
Doesn't look like that
My country doesn't look like that

I'm just sitting outside, blurring the lines of the stereotypes
I'm just sitting outside, blurring the lines, blurring the lines, yeah

Tattoos and the sixth string, rapping about a bonfire
Running down a big dream, singing with the wrong choir
From a broken home, but I never felt alone
When I say I'm country, don't get me wrong

It ain't always what it seems
Ain't no John Deere green
From the city to the backwoods
And I'm somewhere in between
That same old Bible Belt
Still holding up my stacks
I'm from the wrong side of the tracks
So my country doesn't look like that
Doesn't look like that
My country doesn't look like that

I'm just sitting outside, blurring the lines of the stereotypes
I'm just sitting outside, blurring the lines, blurring the lines, yeah
