[Intro]
Out here in the city lights, I feel so out of place
Longing for the dirt roads where I can run and find my space
[Verse 1]
A country boy raised with the sun and the rain
Now I’m stuck in concrete jungles, longing for the country’s lane
City sounds, they drown my mind, sirens and the crowded streets
I miss that simple life, where my heart found its beats
[Pre-Chorus]
Days turn into nights, working just to break free
Dreaming of open fields and the way it used to be
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna go back, back to those days
When the sky was clear, in the grass I laid
City life’s a heavy load, I’m counting down the ways
To find my way back home, where I belong someday
[Verse 2]
Coffee shops and city lights, they never felt like mine
Instead of starry nights and the firelight’s glow, I see neon signs
Climbing up this corporate ladder, just to hit the ground someday
When I can leave behind this hustle, find my peaceful way
[Pre-Chorus]
Every ticking clock, I just chase the fading sun
Hoping this life will fade and I can run
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna go back, back to those days
When the sky was clear, in the grass I laid
City life’s a heavy load, I’m counting down the ways
To find my way back home, where I belong someday
[Bridge]
Dreams of porch swings and the old barn door
Simple days and so much more
One day I’ll pack my dreams up, leave this noise behind
Find my peace where the hills and the sun still shine
[Pre-Chorus]
Days turn into nights, working just to break free
Dreaming of open fields and the way it used to be
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna go back, back to those days
When the sky was clear, in the grass I laid
City life’s a heavy load, I’m counting down the ways
To find my way back home, where I belong someday
[Outro]
Until that day, I’ll hold on tight
To memories of the country nights
Waiting for the moment to be free
Going back to where I used to be
