Goin' down to Muscle Shoals where the swamp water rhythm flows Live the only way I know I'm just a common man Headed down to Texas way where the honky tonk heroes play Gonna find that lost highway that's where I'll make a stand Takin' the country back it's high time we face the facts Heart and soul slippin' through the cracks we're takin' the country back Takin' the country back we're not sure just where it's at We've got to get it back on track we're takin' the country back Bright lights and limousines fame and fortune I have seen Still searchin' for that dream it's callin' me back home Down to earth where the music's real singin' bout what the people feel Timeless truth now that's the deal we got to pa** in on y'all Yeah takin' the country back... Yeah takin' the country back... Takin' the country on back
