Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He was raised on blacktop
I was raised on red dirt
He knew every shortcut
I knew how a porch works
He wore those polished shoes
I wore dust on my jeans
We both had our own roads
And our own kind of dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
He says, “man, I’m from downtown”
I say, “boy, that’s fine”
You can keep your skyline
I’ll keep my county line
[Chorus]
A city boy could never make a country one
And a country boy don't want to be a city one
Give me that back road, give me that sun
A city boy could never make a country one
And a country boy don't want to be a city one
(hey) We know what we are
(hey) We know where we’re from
[Verse 2]
He likes them rooftop parties
I like a tailgate fire
He counts the minutes moving
I lose track in the tires
He says, “why you always smiling
When the work is hard?”
’Cause I got my people
And that’s a lucky card
[Pre-Chorus]
He says, “man, I’m from downtown”
I say, “boy, that’s fine”
You can keep your skyline
I’ll keep my county line
[Chorus]
A city boy could never make a country one
And a country boy don't want to be a city one
Give me that back road, give me that sun
A city boy could never make a country one
And a country boy don't want to be a city one
(hey) We know what we are
(hey) We know where we’re from
[Bridge]
I don’t need your high-rise
You don’t need my mud
You can love a different kind of life
Still run on the same blood
So tip your hat, I’ll shake your hand
No need to play pretend
Some folks are built for the river
Some for the road that bends
[Chorus]
A city boy could never make a country one
And a country boy don't want to be a city one
Give me that back road, give me that sun
A city boy could never make a country one
And a country boy don't want to be a city one
(hey) We know what we are
(hey) We know where we’re from

Upbeat modern country with stomping four-on-the-floor drums, bright banjo licks, palm-muted electric guitar, and a big singalong chorus; verses ride a tight bass-and-clap groove, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and a pedal-steel rise, chorus hits wide with handclaps, group vocals, and a punchy hook. Close-mic lead vocal, a little grit in the verses, double-tracked hooks, with turntable-like guitar squeaks, reverse cymbal swells into choruses, and a glossy radio-ready mix., country
