Song Description

A country boy goes back to his roots

Lyrics

I'm Back In The Country (Winfield and Allison Orr)

FIRST VERSE
I tried to fit in with the city, working in a high rise every day
But the traffic drove me crazy, the air was always hazy
So I had to get away
Now my old laptop makes a good door stop
And sirens don't keep me awake
If my cell phone rings, hell, I'll let it ring
It's at the bottom of the lake


FIRST CHORUS
I'm back in the country, under the pine trees, here in God's own land
I'm back in the country, sitting at the cafe, long neck in my hand
No subway rush for me, I'm back where I can breathe
I sure ain't missing the city, since I'm back in the country

SECOND VERSE
No I don't worry 'bout highs and lows,
And I don't read the Wall Street news
I get up with the sun, and when the day is done
I know that country life is too good to lose
Me and my rod and reel spend some good times together
Just hoping and wishing
And back in the city, there's a sign on my door that says
I won't be back, I'm gone fishing

SECOND CHORUS
I'm back in the country, dancing in the moonlight,
To a bluegrass band
I'm back in the country, sitting at my old bar,
Glass of whiskey in my hand
I traded the internet for bait and a fishing net
I sure ain't missing the city, since I'm back in the country

BRIDGE
I gave up my wing tips for high tops
I use my briefcase for a tackle box
When my city friends ask me what I'm doing these days
I'm happy to say....

REPEAT FIRST AND SECOND CHORUS
