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
everythin' 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
everythin' 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
everythin' you own
