                    G    D
When somebody says country
                    A             Bm
You probably think Levi's, think about red wings
             G        D
Think about George Strait
            A                       Bm
Under them neons, no, they wouldn't be wrong

'Cause I been livin' all the words they sang
I just did it with a little less twang
It's all the same
But it ain't the same

Chorus:
                 G        D
'Cause my dirt roads are sand
        A             Bm
Off a two-lane by the ocean
That East Coast heartland
God knows that's where my home is
Where the sun shines a little more early
Little less boots, a little more bare feet
If you know it, then you know me
It's a different kinda country

You would understand it
Watchin' that sun sink into the Atlantic
Light us up a bonfire
Stackin' up driftwood, layin'
out on the hood all night
We're all just small town kids,
don't matter where it is
Ain't that what country is?

Chorus:
'Cause my dirt roads are sand
Off a two-lane by the ocean
That East Coast heartland
God knows that's where my home is
Where the sun shines a little more early
Little less boots, a little more bare feet
And if you know it, then you know me
It's a different kinda country, yeah, yeah
It's a different kinda country

Oh
It's all the same but it ain't the same
Oh
It ain't where you're from,
it's the way you're raised

Chorus:
'Cause my dirt roads are sand
Off a two-lane by the ocean
That East Coast heartland
God knows that's where my home is
Where the sun shines a little more early
Little less boots, a little more bare feet
And if you know it, then you know me
Yeah, it's a different kinda country, yeah, yeah
It's a different kinda country
