  Goin' down to Muscle Shoals * Where the swamp water rhythm

  got to get it back on track * We're takin' the country back *

  (same chords as above)
  Bright lights and limousines * Fame and fortune I have seen * Still

  searchin' for that dream * It's callin' me back home * Down to earth

  where the music's real * Singin' 'bout what the people feel * Timeless

  truth, now that's the deal * We got to pass in on, y'all * (Chorus x 3)

  We're takin' the country back * Takin' the country on back *
