"AIN'T NO BETTER PLACE" lyrics

Ain't no better place in the country than the country, no

Downtown cities, man, they sure look pretty
When you're lookin' out at the skyline
But I'm tellin' you, cousin
Man, they ain't got nothin'
On a night sky full of fireflies (Sure gone)

Downtown hunnies, man, they sure look money
When they're rooftop chillin' poolside
With them bikinis and them sandals
But they sure don't hold a candle
To my baby when she's layin' lakeside

'Cause ain't no better place in the country than the country, no
Ain't no better place in the country than the country
No matter where you go, man
Everybody knows that
Ain't no better place in the country than the country, no

It ain't just Georgia, hell, it's right there for ya
All you gotta do is take it way out
From Louisiana to Montana, there's hellabuncha smalltowners
Drinkin' 'round a fire right now (Pour it up)

So buddy pack your bags
If you've never seen stars like that
'Cause nobody sings Nitty Gritty out there in the city
It's a stone cold fact
Ya know that

Ain't no better place in the country than the country, no
Ain't no better place in the country than the country
No matter where you go, man
Everybody knows that
Ain't no better place in the country than the country, no

So buddy pack your bags
If you've never seen stars like that
'Cause nobody sings Nitty Gritty out there in the city
It's a stone cold fact
Yeah, ya know that

Ain't no better place in the country than the country, no
Ain't no better place in the country than the country
No matter where you go, man
Everybody knows that
Ain't no better place in the country than the country, no

Ain't no better place in the country than the country, no
Ain't no better place in the country than the country
No matter where you go, man
Everybody knows that
Ain't no better place in the country than the country, no
