As recorded by Billy Currington
(2023 release)
Capo 3rd fret
[Intro]
D G D Bm7 G
[Verse 1]
D Bm G
City don't let ya walk a field with your fingertips runnin' 'cross the top of waist high hay
D Bm G
It don't have a quarter mile of red lights where everybody waves at your Chevrolet
D G
The city don't grow the kinda of girls that rather river bank, drink beer, and dance in the mud
D Bm G
I ain't sayin' that high-rise life is wrong, but right here is what I love
[Chorus]
D G
They got five stars, we got millions
D G
They got nice bars, we got sippin' straight out of a can
D
On somebody's land with a homegrown girl
G
And a God-made tan singin', "Goodbye Earl"
D
Got everythin' I need, everythin' I could want
Bm G D
'Cause the country does somethin' for me the city don't
G
Ah, the city don't
[Verse 2]
D Bm G
The city don't have a dirt road gravel parkin' lot steeple where you find your forgiveness
D Bm G
And it don't have no farm pond, honey hole, you know you can always Go catch a fish
D Bm G
The city don't sleep slowed down, don't know how to kick back and take a break
D Bm G
I ain't sayin' those high-rise folks are wrong, but I kinda like it this way
[Chorus]
D G
They got five stars, we got millions
D G
They got nice bars, we got sippin' straight out of a can
D
On somebody's land with a homegrown girl
G
And a God-made tan singin', "Goodbye Earl"
D
Got everythin' I need, everythin' I could want
Bm G D
'Cause the country does somethin' for me the city don't
G
Ah, the city don't
[Bridge]
D G
Yeah, it feels like home to me as long as I got a little mud on my boots
D G
So, anywhere made of concrete, I could never lay down my roots
[Chorus]
D G
They got five stars, we got millions
D G
They got nice bars, we got sippin' straight out of a can
D
On somebody's land with a homegrown girl
G
And a God-made tan singin', "Goodbye Earl"
D
Got everythin' I need, everythin' I could want
Bm G D
'Cause the country does somethin' for me the city don't
G
Ah, the city don't
[Outro]
D Bm G D
Mmm
