Country Song

I grew up country
Underneath a vanilla sky
Dusty mornings, herding cattle
A twang in my steps

Now that's all gone
I can't write a country song
Like my roots, I changed everything

Mother kept me fed
Taped up my broken bones
Lived a simple life, no education
Well I wanted more

Now that's all gone
I can't write a country song
Like my roots, I changed everything

Expensive taste
Married into city lights
Can't stand the heat behind
Back and forth I go

Now that's all gone
I can't write a county song
Like my roots, I changed everything

No good son anymore
