Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
Verse: 1
Well, I've been gone for so long
It feels good just to be back home
Back with my friends and people I wanna see
It's like a rainbow that's in the sky
The certain twinkle in everybody's eye
Tellin' me they believe in what I am and what I want to be
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while

Verse: 2
Oh, Lord, don't it feel right tonight?
The certain feeling when the music's just right
I'm feeling better with every single song
I look around, everybody's my friend
Everybody's got the finest grin
And when that Chorus comes along, everybody jump on in
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while (sing a while, sing a while)
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
Don't it make you wanna dance?
Don't it make you wanna smile?
When you're down, down, down in the country
Down, down, down in the country
Down, down, down in the country
Lord God Almighty gotta hang around and pick and sing awhile
