I was born dirt poor on a dead end country road   My every dream was to just grow up and go   Like a siren song those bright lights called my name   So I turned that country road into memory lane      Well, I hit that fast lane, it was paved with gold   But it wasn't long 'til my highbrow ways got old   I started missin' things that I thought I had left behind   'Til I found two swingin' doors underneath the neon sign      They were whirlin' and twirlin' to the fiddles and the steel guitar   Them city folk was drinkin' from Mason jars   I think I found what paradise might be   (Ooo)   The city put the country back in me      When you leave the farm, you don't have to leave your room   Just go on home and slip on them cowboy boots   Now it's the best of both worlds, all I'll ever need   The city put the country back in me      They were whirlin' and twirlin' to the fiddles and the steel guitar   Them city folk was drinkin' from Mason jars   Well, I think I found what paradise might be   (Ooo)   The city put the country back in me   Yea, the city put the country back in me
