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 paying 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
Looking 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 going home

Talking on the telephone
Setting up another day of people to meet
You've gotta do what's right, you've gotta spend the night
Staying 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 its all about

Country boy, you got your feet in LA
But your mind's on Tennessee
Looking 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 going home

Country boy, you got your feet in LA
But your mind's on Tennessee
Looking 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 going home
