My Heart's In The Country

My heart's in the country and I'm going back

My name is on the sign up front in flashing pretty lights

Hundreds of people pay to see me every night

And after each show they beg me for my autograph

They all think I'm happy oh what a laugh

Yes my heart's in the country on a farm in Ohio

With my mama and daddy and the only friends I know

There's a strange different yearning for a farm boy named Jack

Yes my heart's in the country and I'm going back

Oh I've had my fill of the big towns and all the glaring neon lights

I'd give anything to sit by daddy's fireplace late tonight

And just once more if I could hear him play some old tune on his violin

There'll be no show for me tonight cause I'm going home again

Yes my heart's in the country...

Yes my heart's in the country now I'm going back
