Lyrics: Don Reno
Music: Don Reno
Played by the David Nelson Band a few times in the 1990s
You can tell I'm from the country
See I'm from out of town
But I'm beginning to catch on
I'm letting my hair down
Chorus
I've been a' rockin'
I've been a' rollin'
I guess to some folks I look foolish
But let it make a fool out of me
I walked in a crowded dance hall
And I didn't know a soul
Some hillbilly started picking
Everybody rocked and rolled
[chorus]
I have spent all the egg money
Corn and cotton I have sold
I'll mortgage my old homestead
Stay in town to rock 'n' roll
[chorus]
You can tell I'm from the country
See I'm from out of town
But I'm beginning to catch on
I'm letting my hair down
[chorus]
Let it make a fool out of me
