A COWBOY HAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU COUNTRY

You bought yourself some boots, brand new out the box Struttin' through the bar, talkin' like you're boss Got a buckle on your belt, bigger than your pride But you never felt the dust from a long hard ride A cowboy hat doesn't make you country It ain't about the clothes, it's what's inside It's the dirt on your hands, the miles on your boots The way you hold your ground, and the way you tell the truth A cowboy hat doesn't make you country It's the heart that makes a man You talk about the ranch like you've been on the land But you've never roped a steer, never worked with your hands Singing every outlaw song like you know the pain But you wouldn't last a night in the pourin' rain A cowboy hat doesn't make you country It ain't about the clothes, it's what's inside It's the dirt on your hands, the miles on your boots The way you hold your ground, and the way you tell the truth A cowboy hat doesn't make you country It's the heart that makes a man It's the sunrise on a saddle, the ache in your bones The love for your family, the way you come home It's standin' by your word, come hell or high tide Livin' for somethin' worth more than your pride A cowboy hat doesn't make you country It ain't about the clothes, it's what's inside It's the dirt on your hands, the miles on your boots The way you hold your ground, and the way you tell the truth A cowboy hat doesn't make you country It's the heart that makes a man Yeah, it's the heart that makes a man
