Sock It to Me Country Style

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · Going Up the Country [RCA] [1970]

(Nat Stuckey)

I got a thing about the long haired women

Their identity drives me wild

And that some girls with painted eyes

In mini skirts and bye bye eyes

Guranteed to make me smile

And those wings and rings and uptight things

May hold my intention for a while

But if you wanna keep me round

Then let your hair hang down

Sock it to me country style.

I think lot about a new generation

And the clothes they wear ain't bad

I didn't design those clothes

And funny little shirts

And knee high shoes and mini skirts

But I kinda wish that I had.

I like cowboy shirts

And cowboy boots and Levi's

And I like girls who like my style

So if you wanna keep me round

Then let your hair hang down

Sock it to me country style.

And I like girls who like my style

So if you wanna keep me round

Then let your hair hang down

Sock it to me country style.

So if you wanna keep me round

Then let your hair hang down

Sock it to me country style...
