We are young country
We are the pride
The sons and the daughters
Of American life
Our hair is not orange
We don't wear chains and spikes
But we know how to have fun
Come Saturday night
We know what's right
We know what's wrong
We know what we like to hear in a song
We like some of the old stuff
We like some of the new
But we'll do our own chosen
We pick our own music
If you don't mind, thank you
We are young country
We like all kinds
Of music and people
Cause we don't draw no lines
No, our hair is not orange
We don't wear chains and spikes
But we know how to have fun
Come Saturday night
(Tell them what we like, Daryl)
We like ol' Waylon
Hey, we know Van Halen
We like ZZ Top
We like country and rock
Old Hank would be proud
And Elvis would too
Cause we like our country
Mixed with some big city blues
We are young country
We are the pride
The sons and the daughters
Of American life
Old Hank would be proud
(Oh, yes he would)
And Elvis would too
(Thank you very much)
Cause we like our country
Mixed with some rhythm and blues
We know when it's hot
We know when it's not
If you don't mind, thank you
