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 LA
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 LA
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 LA
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 LA
Take a look at everything you own
But now and then, my heart keeps goin´ home (x2)
