[Verse 1]
Born down in the hollow
Down among the hill
Never had a lot of luck
Lord I had some thrills

[Chorus]
Keeping it country
Keeping it country all the time
Country is as country does
Country is what country loves

[Verse 2]
Walking by the river
All along the tracks
Always tried to look ahead
But Lord I love looking back

[Chorus]
And keeping it country
Keeping' it country all the time
Well I've been this way from the start
I got a hillbilly heart

[Verse 3]
Lord I love the guitar
Love to hear it loud
If you don't like what you hear
You should leave this crowd

[Chorus]
We're keeping it country
Keeping it country all the time
Well this southern twang here is my art
I got a hillbilly heart

[Verse 4]
I love my truck
Love to drive it fast
If you don't like the way I drive
You can kiss my ass

[Chorus]
I'm keeping it country
Keeping' it country all the time
Well you can change every part
Except my hillbilly heart

[Outro]
Well I've been this way from the start
I got a hillbilly heart, I got a hillbilly heart
