Back to the Country

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

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

Days turn into nights, working just to break free

Dreaming of open fields and the way it used to be

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

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

Every ticking clock, I just chase the fading sun

Hoping this life will fade and I can run

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

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

Days turn into nights, working just to break free

Dreaming of open fields and the way it used to be

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

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
