I Don’t Know What Is Lyrics by Tegan Marie

2019

[Verse 1]
I grew up 48506
Way up north and in the sticks
With my grandpa's tractor in the backyard
Running barefoot wild and free
Through the fields and through the creeks
Where God's good people like to work hard
My roots run deeper than these woods
Where grass is green and life is good
Don't need no help to bait a hook, I can do it myself
[Chorus]
If that ain't country I don't know what is
Been bumping Johnny Cash since I was a little kid
Swung a lot of rope swings out in the sunny
Living on fun when there wasn't no money
Drinking sweet tea with some lemon on the side
Mama screaming out the screen door, "Come on inside"
A pan of fried chicken dipping in the honey
Come on tell me y'all if that ain't country
I don't know what is
I don't know what is
I don't know what
I don't know what is
(Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
We play hide and seek in the corn
And we dance when it pours
Building forts way up high in the maple trees
Bow our heads when we pray
"Yes ma'am," is what we say
Sowing bandanas patching up our holy jeans
I paint my nails but it comes off
From jumping cliffs and skipping rocks
The moon is bright, let's catch some frogs y'all
[Chorus]
If that ain't country I don't know what is
Been bumping Johnny Cash since I was a little kid
Swung a lot of rope swings out in the sunny
Living on fun when there wasn't no money
Drinking sweet tea with some lemon on the side
Mama screaming out the screen door, "Come on inside"
A pan of fried chicken dipping in the honey
Come on tell me y'all if that ain't country
I don't know what is
I don't know what is
I don't know what
I don't know what is
(Ooh, ooh)
[Bridge]
There's a pink camo heart underneath this Maybelline
Come on raise your hands up if you were raised just like me
In a pink little house with a white picket fence
Underneath blue skies, yeah
Ain't that America
[Chorus]
If that ain't country I don't know what is
Been bumping Johnny Cash since I was a little kid
Swung a lot of rope swings out in the sunny
Living on fun when there wasn't no money
Drinking sweet tea with some lemon on the side
Mama screaming out the screen door, "Come on inside"
A pan of fried chicken dipping in the honey
Come on tell me y'all if that ain't country
I don't know what is
I don't know what is (Ooh)
I don't know what
I don't know what is (Ooh)
I don't know what is
I don't know what is (Ooh)
I don't know what
I don't know what is (Ooh)
I don't know what is
I don't know what is (Ooh)
I don't know what
I don't know what is (Ooh)
