Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Livin' in the city

 Ain't never been my idea of gettin' it on

 But the job demands that you make new plans

 Before your big chance is gone

 You get a house in the hills

 You're payin' everyone's bills

 And they tell you that you're gonna go far

 But in the back of my mind,

 I hear it time after time,

 "Is that who you really are?"

Chorus

Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.

 But your mind's on Tennessee

 Lookin' back, I can remember the time

 When I sang my songs for free

Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.

 Take a look at everything you own

 But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home

Talkin' on the telephone

Settin' up another day of people to meet

You've gotta do what's right

You've gotta spend the night

Stayin' in touch with the street

When you're surrounded by friends

They say the fun never ends

But I guess I'll never figure it out

'Cause in the back of my mind

I hear it time after time

"Is this what it's all about?"

Chorus and fade
