Country DNA- w/ Bonnie Warren

Lyrics

COUNTRY DNA -- MILLER/WARREN, She goes down to visit grandma On the farm in Alabama Every summer since she was 9 Something in her comes alive On that southbound drive Past the Mason Dixon line She trades her Prada shoes and Armani suits For jeans and a pair of low heeled boots She don't worry bout her nails while she's bailing hay That city girl's got country DNA Part of her world- that's why she can rock that way She's got an American flag tattoo Shouts the loudest amen from the front church pew After Saturday night, when she shoots JACK whiskey straight That city girl's got country DNA Leavin Grandma's always hard She hates packing up her car For that long ride home northeast As everybody waves goodbye She smiles while she cries She'll miss that Southern hospitality On the interstate about 10 miles gone A tail-gaitin New York plate just cut her off She decided then and there to turn around and stay That city girl's got country DNA Part of her world that's why she can rock that way She dances w/ the soldiers home on leave She's the only one with Grandma's secret recipe Before every meal she bows her head to pray That city girl's got country DNA Bridge: she loves G-d, her country, and the good ole USA That city girl's got country DNA

Long Song Description:

Story Behind the Song: Everybody thinks it's funny that a New York City girl likes Nashville and writes country music. My Gramma was from Kentucky and I spent a lot of time with her because I was always sent there to be punished. I had so much fun, I kept getting in trouble just to go back...
