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 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

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
