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 pass in on y'all 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, 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, it's high time we face the facts We're not sure where it's at, but we're takin' the country back 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 We're takin' the country back Takin' the country on back
