How does a good old country boy end up a fool
When all he ever wanted was a pretty country girl
I've been 30 days beneath a haze of carbon colored sky
And I can't see through the rain clouds in my eyes
Why did this lonesome city take me from my home
So many million people and yet I feel I'm so alone
Loud guitars in all night bars won't even paralyze the pain
Think I'll buy a one way on a south bound train
The Country life is calling me back home
Home to where my body joins my soul
To where the spirit of a man is planted in the land
The Country life is calling me back home
As I behold the grey skyline evaporate in time
The rat race dance and traffic jams are now memoirs in my mind
Neon lights and concrete heights may be some folks cup of tea
But it's no place for a country boy like me
The Country life is calling me back home
Home to where my body joins my soul
To where the spirit of a man is planted in the land
The Country life is calling me back home
Yes the Country life is calling me back home
