Country Pride
Recorded by Mel Street
Written by Betty Carol

C
Well go ahead and call me a country boy

I couldn't hide it even if I tried
      F                                 C
I'm a country boy from the hills of old Virginia
          D7                                G7
Where the country folks got lots of country pride

     C
Well daddy raised us working in a coal mine

But mama's love was always by his side
     F                                     C
When things got rough we've just got rough with 'em
               G7                               C
And through it all we've never lost our country pride

        F                             C
There's never been a better chance in history
   F                              C
To make our lives a better way to live
      F                       C
And I think of this and I see blessing
        D7                         G7
Because we've never been afraid to give

      C
Every time I see Ol' Glory wavin' somewhere

I feel my heart just swelling up inside
    F                                  C
I'm proud to be a country boy from the greatest land of all
      G7                                  C
And I thank You Lord for all this country pride


Go ahead and smile when I say you all

But I see you like your chicken southern fried
   F                                  C
It don't really matter where you come from
   D7                                   G7
As long as your heart's full of country pride

Repeat #4 

  G7                                  C
I thank You Lord for all this country pride
