作词 : Stuart, Wright
Goin' down to 
Muscle Shoals where the swamp water rhythm flows 
Live the only way 
I know I'm just a common man 
Headed down to 
Texas way where the honky tonk heroes play 
Gonna find that lost highway that's where 
I'll make a stand 
Takin' the country back it's high time we face the facts 
Heart and soul slippin' through the cracks we're takin' the country back 
Takin' the country back we're not sure just where it's at 
We've got to get it back on track we're takin' the country back [ guitar ] 
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 
Yeah takin' the country back... [ steel ] 
Yeah takin' the country back... 
Takin' the country on back
