City lights are shinin' through my apartment pane
But my heart's back home in the country rain
Skyscrapers rise where fields should be
Through this window I see what I can't be
Through the window I dream of open skies
Rolling hills and fireflies
Every moment I'm missin' my home
Through the window I'm never alone
Traffic noise and sirens drownin' out my peace
Miss the sound of crickets and the rustlin' leaves
Concrete jungle where the wild things roam
But my soul's still yearning for my simple home
Through the window I dream of open skies
Rolling hills and fireflies
Every moment I'm missin' my home
Through the window I'm never alone
Memories of sunset on the lazy porch swing
Laughin' with my family hear the church bells ring
City life's a whirlwind but my heart remains
In the quiet country where I knew less pain
City lights are fading as night starts to fall
Dreams of country roads where I had it all
One day I'll return to where my roots run deep
But for now through this window my heart will keep
Through the window I dream of open skies
Rolling hills and fireflies
Every moment I'm missin' my home
Through the window I'm never alone
So I'll stay here in this city bright
But my heart's in the country each and every night
Through the window I have my dreams
Till the day I go back to where my heart's at ease
