Country Sugar

I used to think that the city was calling me
with all its lights and its pretty things
I used to think that the only way to make it
was to fake it in the Big Apple

so let me take this opportunity
to redefine what “make it” means to me

It means:
tall grass
and crickets
and a nice big garden out back

it means
sunrise
and apple pies
and most of all piece of mind

well, sure some money’d be nice
but im rich in a way you city folk don’t understand
so sit with me on this piece of land
and we’ll see if we can get you to forget your plans

so keep your noises and your dirty streets
cuz ive got that country sugar to keep me sweet

and it took a while to come to this
I had to knock that pedestal down
and I’d just rather be myself
in this tiny Southern town

so turn me up and tune me in
to the station of country living
turn me up and tune me in
to the station that i reside in

the only lights i care to see
are fireflies sayin hi to me

I used to think that the city was calling me
but now I know the country’s all I need
