Country Boy City Song
Standing in the Spotlight
Feeling all alone
Well Id rather be in the gentle pine trees of my country home
Please don’t get me wrong
I like your city lights
But the stars up in the heavens
Have always been alright
I’m just another songwriter in Nashville
And the city’s got me feeling all alone
Id rather be in the gentle pine trees of my country home
I’m just a country boy
Singing a city song
Dialed every telephone number
Knocked on every door
They say hello goodbye
I’ve heard your song before
So I step back out there in the snow
And go back to my hotel room
And dream of all the times I left behind
You know the country has been my home from the very start
And the only song I need is the one that’s in my heart
Though I’m in the city feeling all alone
Ill be looking for the time when Ill be heading home
But right now
I’m just another songwriter in Nashville
And the city’s got me feeling all alone
Id rather be in the gentle pine trees of my country home
I’m just a country boy
Singing a city song
