Up in my city the ladies are pretty And they've really got a lot of charm But I must admit I wouldn't mind it a bit To be laying in their loving arms
But down in my heart I know we're worlds apart I would never be satisfied Cause the woman for me She's gonna have to be just a little on the country side
I took a chance on a little romance On a fella who was city slick I felt like a queen in his black limousine But it really didn't do the trick And when I got up to go He said that he didn't know Why the feeling inside of me died I said I needed a man who had some dirt on his hands And just a little on the country side
Country side, country side It's the finest side of life I'm gonna get my hand to a country man I'm gonna take a country wife And we'll save up for a big dumb truck And take us for a country ride We'll spend our days where the cattle graze In a cottage by the country side
The music they play in this city cafe Sounds good to them I guess But I don't slap my knees And I don't tap my feet So it really doesn't past the test I want to hear some steel to a country feel I wanna hear that six string style So take that disc and flip your wrist And let me hear the country side
Country side, country side It's the place where I was born I want to hide away in a pile of hay I want to plow a field of corn I love the southern states And the buckwheat cakes I like my chicken fried I'm gonna spend my days where the cattle graze In a cottage by the country side
