This workin' all day ain't gettin' me nowhere   A breakin' my back won't get it done   I wish I had a dime, I wish I had a dollar   For every dream that I gave up on, y'all      This hammer I'm swingin' is startin' to feel heavy   I clinched my fist when I punched the clock   A little for the bank leaves nothin' for my baby   A pushin' my paycheck around the block      Yeah, I need to go face first into that fresh air   Way up there where the eagle fly   I need to draw the line in that cool clear water   And leave the city behind and get country   Oh, countrified      A fool's gold watch and a lung full of black smoke   Is all I get now for all I gave   My only reward for this broken down body   Was diggin' my way to an early grave      I always dreamed I'd end up on a river   Fast asleep on a mountain high   But I'm stuck down here in this concrete valley   In a sea of bumpers and red tail lights      Yeah, I need to go face first into that fresh air   Way up there where the eagle fly   I need to draw the line in that cool clear water   Leave the city behind and get country   Oh, countrified, double time      Yeah, I need to go face first into that fresh air   Way up there where the eagle flies   I need to draw the line in that cool clear water   And leave the city behind and get countrified   Oh yeah, countrified      This workin' all day ain't gettin' me nowhere   And breakin' my back won't get it done   I wish I had a dime, I wish I had a dollar   For every dream that I gave up on, y'all      Ooh, that I gave up on, oh no   Yeah, oh, get more countrified
