COUNTRY IS FOR ME Lyrics by James Johnston, Appel

2024

[Intro: James Johnston & Appel, James Johnston]
From Cape Town to Sydney to Nashville, Tennessee
I'm proud to say that country is for me (Hey)

[Verse 1: James Johnston & Appel]
Here's to campfire stories
Here's to hometown glory
Yeah, it's like Grandad told me
Just don't forget where you come from (Come on)
Dis my vellies op die grondpad
Yeah, man, it's the tires on my old truck
En nes ek uitkyk op die vlaktes
That's when I know that I belong

[Chorus: James Johnston & Appel]
Yeah, I love this life, it's all I need
So God bless this land, my friends and family
From Cape Town to Sydney to Nashville, Tеnnessee
I'm proud to say that country is for me (Hey)

[Post-Chorus: James Johnston & Appel]
I'm proud to say that country is for mе

[Verse 2: James Johnston & Appel]
Here's to backroad sunsets
A little more space, a little less stress
Yeah, it's kicking back with a cold beer and my friends
No, it don't get much better than this (Ah, it don't)

[Chorus: James Johnston & Appel, James Johnston]
Damn, I love this life, it's all I need
So God bless this land, my friends and family
From Cape Town to Sydney to Nashville, Tennessee
I'm proud to say that country is for me (Hey)

[Post-Chorus: James Johnston & Appel, James Johnston]
(Ah, yeah)
(Haha, let's go)
I'm proud to say that country is for me

[Bridge: James Johnston & Appel]
No, it don't matter where you're from
If you're just like us
Little hometown country proud
Raise 'em on up (Get 'em up)

[Chorus: Both, James Johnston & Appel]
We love this life, it's all we need
So God bless this land, my friends and family
From Cape Town to Sydney to Nashville, Tennessee
I'm proud to say that country is for me
I love this life, it's all I need
So God bless this land, my friends and family
From Cape Town to Sydney to Nashville, Tennessee
I'm proud to say that country is for me (Hey)

[Outro: James Johnston, Appel & Both]
Oh, from Cape Town to Sydney to Nashville, Tennessee
Nkosi Sikelel'
Country is for me
