Countrified

This working all day ain't gettin' me nowhere

Breakin' my back won?t get it done

Wish I had a dime, wish I had a dollar

For every dream that I gave up on, that I gave up on

This hammer I?m swingin' is startin' to feel heavy

I clench my fist when I punch the clock

A little for the bank leaves nothing for my baby

Stretchin' my paycheck around the block

I need to go face first into that fresh air

Free up there where the eagle flies

Need to drop a line in that cool clear water

Leave the city behind and get countrified

A fool's gold watch and a lung

Full of black smoke is all I get for all I gave

My only reward for this broken down body

Was diggin' my way to an early grave

Always dreamed I?d end up on a river

Fast asleep on a mountain high

But I?m way down here in this concrete valley

In a sea of barbers and red taillights, red taillights

I need to go face first into that fresh air

Free up there where the eagle flies

Need to drop a line in that cool clear water

Leave the city behind and get countrified

I need to go face first into that fresh air

Free up there where the eagle flies

Need to drop a line in that cool clear water

Leave the city behind and get countrified

Fit to be tied

This working all day ain't gettin' me nowhere

Breakin' my back won?t get it done

Wish I had a dime, wish I had a dollar

For every dream that I gave up on, that I gave up on
