Country Lovin' City Boy

Every weekend that I could
I’d take a trip out to the country
Just to get away from all the chaos
I lived in, in the city
And the quiet empty woods
Always made me feel at home
And the smell of charcoal burning
And the freedom just to roam

I grew up in the city, but my heart belonged to the country
I moved away when I was 17, young and free
Now sometimes on the weekend, I might make a little trip in
But since it’s part of my roots
I will always be
A country lovin’ city boy, city boy, city boy

Now looking up at the stars
Was always better when I could see them
Just hanging out by a fire
Talking about way back when

I grew up in the city, but my heart belonged to the country
I moved away when I was 17, young and free
Now sometimes on the weekend, I might make a little trip in
But since it’s part of my roots
I will always be
A country lovin’ city boy

I like the different seasons, so I can look forward to the sunshine
Here in Upstate New York, I got my own little gold mine
Hanging by the lakeside

I grew up in the city, but my heart belonged to the country
I moved away when I was 17
Now sometimes on the weekend, I might make a little trip in
But since it’s part of my roots
I will always be
A country lovin’ city boy

Every weekend that I could
I’d take a trip out to the country (A country lovin’ city boy)
Just to get away from all the chaos
I lived in, in the city (It’ll always be in my roots)
And the quiet empty woods (It was always in my heart)
Always made me feel at home

A country lovin’ city boy, city boy, city boy
