A country mile off the beaten path
A little dot you won't find on a map
Where we live a simpler way of life
We're just fine not being found
But progress is hunting us down
Those lights get brighter every night
We ain't trying to move the country on up
So don't force your city on us
CHORUS
We don't like supersize dinners
Your big malls don't make us no better
We're alright the way we are
So take your fast-paced, fast lane living
We might look broke but we don't need fixing
We're alright the way we are
I used to jump into the lake to get clean on a hot day
Now I gotta clean off when I jump out
I don't remember daddy spraying crops
No pills to pop, no laptop
It's killing us the things we can't live without
You can break your neck over all that stress
We don't want your mess
CHORUS 2
We don't need reality tv
We got Jed getting crazy on whiskey
We're alright the way we are
So take your fast-paced, fast lane living
We might look broke but we don't need fixing
We're alright the way we are
Just the way we are
We ain't trying to move the country on up
So don't force your city on us
CHORUS 3
We don't need your Starbucks brother
We ain't too proud to make our own coffee
We're alright the way we are
Just the way we are..
Where I come from.
