| Livin' in the city
|
| Ain’t never been my idea of gettin' it on
|
| But the job demands that you make new plans
|
| Before your big chance is gone
|
| You get a house in the hills
|
| You’re payin' everyone’s bills
|
| And they tell you that you’re gonna go far
|
| But in the back of my mind
|
| I hear it time after time
|
| Is that who you really are?
|
| Country boy, you got your feet in L. A.,
|
| But your mind’s on Tennessee
|
| Lookin' back, I can remember the time
|
| When I sang my songs for free
|
| Country boy, you got your feet in L. A
|
| Take a look at everything you own
|
| But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home
|
| Talkin' on the telephone
|
| Settin' up another day of people to meet
|
| You’ve gotta do what’s right
|
| You’ve gotta spend the night
|
| Stayin' in touch with the street
|
| When you’re surrounded by friends
|
| They say the fun never ends
|
| But I guess I’ll never figure it out
|
| 'Cause in the back of my mind
|
| I hear it time after time
|
| Is this what it’s all about?
|
| Country boy, you got your feet in L. A.,
|
| But your mind’s on Tennessee
|
| Lookin' back, I can remember the time
|
| When I sang my songs for free
|
| Country boy, you got your feet in L. A
|
| Take a look at everything you own
|
| But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home |
