I've been gone for so long
It's sure good to get back home
Back to those familiar faces smiling right back at me
There's a rainbow in the sky
A certain twinkle in her eye
That makes me believe in what I am
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
Oh Lord, it feels so right
Just a-sittin' by the campfire light
Trading tunes and feeling my friends are pointing right back at me
You look around as you pick your song
Everybody's grinnin' and playin' along
And when that chorus rolls around everybody joins 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
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
Down, down, down
When you're down, down, down in the country
Pick and sing a while
