Ain’t Like I Can Hide It Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you've met me, then you've met my old man
He'll look you in your eyes and shake your hand
Where I'm from, what I believe
Might as well be on my sleeve
And you don't have to wonder who I am
[Chorus]
It ain't like you can't see these old worn-out boots
Hear this drawl when I talk to you
Son, as soon as I pull up there's no denyin'
That sacred ground stuck in my tread
The red that's right there on my neck
Hell, there ain't no use in me tryin' to fight it
It ain't like I can hide it
[Verse 2]
There's a farm with a flag and a barn on a gravel road
And a swing on the porch of the house that I call home
That's where this boy became a man
You might wonder where I stand
But if you've been there, hell, you already know
[Chorus]
'Cause it ain't like you can't see these old worn-out boots
Hear this drawl when I talk to you
Son, as soon as I pull up there's no denyin'
That sacred ground stuck in my tread
The red that's right there on my neck
Hell, there ain't no use in me tryin' to fight it
It ain't like I can hide it
If you've met me, then you've met my old man
He'll look you in your eyes and shake your hand
Where I'm from, what I believe
Might as well be on my sleeve
And you don't have to wonder who I am
[Chorus]
It ain't like you can't see these old worn-out boots
Hear this drawl when I talk to you
Son, as soon as I pull up there's no denyin'
That sacred ground stuck in my tread
The red that's right there on my neck
Hell, there ain't no use in me tryin' to fight it
It ain't like I can hide it
[Verse 2]
There's a farm with a flag and a barn on a gravel road
And a swing on the porch of the house that I call home
That's where this boy became a man
You might wonder where I stand
But if you've been there, hell, you already know
[Chorus]
'Cause it ain't like you can't see these old worn-out boots
Hear this drawl when I talk to you
Son, as soon as I pull up there's no denyin'
That sacred ground stuck in my tread
The red that's right there on my neck
Hell, there ain't no use in me tryin' to fight it
It ain't like I can hide it
[Post-Chorus]
It ain't like I can hide it
[Bridge]
No, I can't hide the skoal ring in my blue jeans
Hide the small town in my blood
Hide the country, there's just some things that you can't cover up
[Chorus]
It ain't like you can't see these old worn out boots
Hear this drawl when I talk to you
Son, as soon as I pull up there's no denying
That sacred ground stuck in my tread
The red that's right there on my neck
Hell, there ain't no use in me tryin' to fight it
It ain't like I can hide it
[Post-Chorus]
It ain't like I can hide it
It ain't like I can hide it, no
It ain't like I can hide it
[Bridge]
No, I can't hide the skoal ring in my blue jeans
Hide the small town in my blood
Hide the country, there's just some things that you can't cover up
[Chorus]
It ain't like you can't see these old worn out boots
Hear this drawl when I talk to you
Son, as soon as I pull up there's no denying
That sacred ground stuck in my tread
The red that's right there on my neck
Hell, there ain't no use in me tryin' to fight it
It ain't like I can hide it
[Post-Chorus]
It ain't like I can hide it
It ain't like I can hide it, no

Genius Answer
I was on a radio tour and I went to California, LA somewhere, and somebody from the label had steered me and was just like, ‘Hey, when we get out here, don’t talk so much about hunting or whatever, because they don’t really do that out here.’ I was telling the story to Bobby [Pinson] and Chris [DuBois] and I said it: ‘It ain’t like I can hide it. As soon as they look at me, they’re going to know I’m a redneck from Alabama. You hear me talk, it’s not like I can cover this up.’ And Bobby said, ‘That’s it. We’re writing it.’
