Intro: (x2)? 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 * Chorus: 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 * (same chords as above) 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 pass in on, y'all * (Chorus x 3) (after 3 chorus) We're takin' the country back * Takin' the country on back * Transcribed by: M. Lawrence - 9/24/98
