         Well I was raised on country classics 
 
         Like Roy Acuff and George Jones 
 
         Lord I love'd to hear 'em 
                                        E5 
         Sing all them old time country songs 
               A5 
         But I really got excited 
 
         'bout the time I turned 15 
                    D5 
         That's the first time I heard Waylon 
 
         and old Bocephus sing 
                       A5 
         They put some drive in their country 
         E5                     A5 
         That really turned me on 
 

         D5 
         Yea, put some drive in your country 
                              A5 
         Keep country drivin' on 
                  D5 
         When the music gets you movin' 
         B5                      E5 
         You know that can't be wrong 
         A5 
         Everytime I hear that Outlaw stuff 
 
         On my car radio 
            D5 
         It makes me wanna drive it 
 
         Just as fast as it will go 
                  A5 
         Put some drive in your country 
         E5                          A5 
         Let's keep country drivin' on 
 

         A5 
         We played some shows in Atlanta 
 
         On Sunday afternoons 
 
         The gigs were packed and I was nervous 
                                         E5 
         Cause I wanted folks to like my tunes 
                         A5 
         The crowds were full of younger people 
 
         They were all about my age 
              D5 
         So I turned and told the band 
 
         Just before we walked on stage 
                  A5 
         Put some drive in your country fellas 
         E5                      A5 
         We turned those people on 
 

                      D5 
         Yea put some drive in your country 
                              A5 
         Keep country drivin' on 
                  D5 
         When the music gets you dancin' 
         B5                      E5 
         You know that can't be wrong 
         A5 
         See I made myself a promise 
 
         When I was just a kid 
                 D5 
         I'd mix southern rock and country 
 
         And that's just what I did 
                  A5 
         Put some drive in your country 
         E5                    A5 
         Keep country drivin' on 
 
         HEY-YEA-YEA-YEA 
 
         (Instrumental Break) 
 

                  D5 
         Put some drive in your country 
                                       A5 
         Hey let's keep country drivin on 
                  D5 
         When the music gets you movin' 
         B5                      E5 
         You know that can't be wrong 
                 A5 
         I still love old country 
 
         I ain't tryin' to put it down 
         D5 
         Damn I miss Duanne Allman 
 
         I wish he was still around 
                  A5 
         Put some drive in the country 
         E5                    A5 
         Keep country drivin' on 
            D5 
         HEY-YEA 
                  A5
