I  drive a compact SUV  with a straight four  engine inside.
And  I think the Union  won the war but I  respect your pride.
 (Bass )
 And I don't chew tobacco but man I'll drink your beer,
I  was born up above the Dixie  line and I ended  up down here.
I'm  not country but I like your country, I  know where I'm  from.
 When I hear  your songs on the radio, I  start having fun.
 I'm so down  with deep fried chicken; Jesus  saved my soul.
 Yeah I'm a northern city  boy and this  ain't Rock and roll.
I  don't like watching NASCAR  but God bless  the number  3.
I  cheer on the Pittsburgh Steelers,  I don't  watch the  SEC,
   -(Bass )
 I don't shoot guns or ride horses but I'll give 'em both a try.
 If Johnny  Cash ever heard  this song I bet  he'd start to cry.
I'm  not country but I like your country, I  know where I'm  from.
 When I hear  your songs on the radio, I  start having fun.
 I'm so down  with deep fried chicken; Jesus  saved my soul.
 Yeah I'm a northern city  boy and this  ain't Rock and roll.
 No ooh oh
I  like pretty southern  bells and I like  to take things slow
 But  my cousins are NYPDs  and I can drive  in the snow.
   -(Bass )
 Yeah I grew up playing in the dirt up where it ain't red
 And I got  one pair of cowboy  boots but they ain't  gone to my head.
 Final Chorus:
 I'm not country  but I like the country,
 I'm not saying  that I'm the real  deal
 And when your songs  come on the radio,  I like  the way I feel.
 I'm so down  with deep fried chicken; Jesus  saved my soul.
 Yeah I'm a northern city  boy but this  ain't,  no this ain't rock and roll,
 This ain't rock and  roll ohh  oh oh, here we go.
