Super-country, evangelic, rockabilly, psychaedelic cowboy
There's a new branch on the family-tree
An' it all starts right here with me, yeah

I'm a super-country, evangelic, rockabilly, psychaedelic cowboy
I'm a "Twist 'n Shout", an' they keep breakin'
Puts the move on you right now boy
Get up outta your seat
There's a new branch on the family-tree
An' it all starts right here with me, yeah

We never sang "Hound Dog": they said it was the devil's tongue
They censored him on Sullivan, now he's loved by everyone
Oh, there's an FM evolution, country music revolution
LP, CD, rip it from your MP3, boy
Oh, there's a new branch on the family-tree
An' it all starts right here with me, yeah

I'm a super-country, evangelic, rockabilly, psychaedelic cowboy
I'm a "Twist 'n Shout", an' they keep breakin'
Puts the move on you right now boy
Get up outta your seat
There's a new branch on the family-tree
An' it all starts right here with me, yeah

Instrumental Break

Oh, there's a new branch on the family-tree
An' it all starts right here with me, yeah

I'm a super-country, evangelic, rockabilly, psychaedelic cowboy
I'm a "Twist 'n Shout", an' they keep breakin'
Puts the move on you right now boy
Super-country, evangelic, rockabilly, psychaedelic cowboy
