City Don't

Billy Currington

The city don′t let ya walk a field with your fingertips
Runnin' cross the top of waist high
It don′t have a quarter mile of red lightsWhere everybody waves at your Chevrolet

The city don't grow the kinda of girls that rather river bank
Drink beer, and dance in the mud
I ain't sayin′ that high-rise life is wrong
But right here is what I love

They got five stars, we got millions
They got nice bars, we got sippin′ straight out of a can
On somebody's land with a homegrown girl
And a God-made tan singin′, "Goodbye Earl"
Got everything I need, everything I could want
'Cause the country does somethin′ for me the city don't
Ah, the city don′t

The city don't have a dirt road gravel parkin' lot steeple
Where you find your forgiveness
And it don′t have no farm pond, honey hole
You know you can always go catch a fish

The city don′t sleep slowed down
Don't know how to kick back or take a break
I ain′t sayin' those high-rise folks are wrong
But I kinda like it this way

They got five stars, we got millions
They got nice bars, we got sippin′ straight out of a can
On somebody's land with a homegrown girl
And a God-made tan singin′, "Goodbye Earl"
Got everythin' I need, everything I could want
'Cause the country does somethin′ for me the city don′t
Ah, the city don't

Yeah, it feels like home to me
As long as I got a little mud on my boots
So, anywhere made of concrete, I could never lay down my roots

They got five stars, we got millions
They got nice bars, we got sippin′ straight out of a can
On somebody's land with a homegrown girl
And a God-made tan singin′, "Goodbye Earl"
Got everything I need, everythin' I could want
′Cause the country does somethin' for me the city don't
Ah, the city don′t, mm
