The city just ain't for me
Now I'm a willow tree blowing in a mountain breeze
I feel lost in these busy streets
I need a sleepy back road
But the city never sleeps
I was raised up where the dirt road starts
Far from home and it's breaking my heart
I miss my old friends
My old ways
Everything about them old days
N.C.
These four lanes for faded yellow paint
On some black top paved for two
I'd trade it all, the fast life
If it would leave me two of you
And I'd run right through that city limit sign
In a short bed Ford headed right for the pines
I'd leave it all behind
This ain't me
Home is where I wanna be
A town like this won't get you far
Go ahead girl and grab those stars
Take all your scars and hit the road
I flew too fast and didn't miss a note
Now I'm starving for a taste of where I'm from
Up against something I can outrun
Brought my past and what I've done along
But I'd trade
These four lanes for faded yellow paint
On some black top paved for two
I'd trade it all, the fast life
If it would leave me two of you
And I'd run right through that city limit sign
In a short bed Ford headed right for the pines
I'd leave it all behind
This ain't me
Home is where I wanna bee-e-eeee-ee
Four lanes for faded yellow paint
On some black top paved for two
I'd trade it all, the fast life
If it would leave me two of you
And I'd run right through that city limit sign
In a short bed Ford headed right for the pines
I'd leave it all behind
This ain't me
Home is where I wanna bee-e-eeee-ee
Where I wanna be bee-e-eeeee-ee mm mm mmmm
