Capo 3


G5
Livin' in the city
      D5          E5                 G5    
Ain't never been my idea of gettin' it on
        G5                    D5
But the job demands that you make new plans
  C5                       G5      C5  G5 
Before your big chance is gone
          G5 
You get a house in the hills
              D5  
You're payin' everyone's bills
         C5                             G5 
And they tell you that you're gonna go far
           G5
But in the back of my mind,
          D5
I hear it time after time,
    C5              
"Is that who you really are?"

Chorus:
C5   D5   G5                 D5 
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
         G5              C5
But your mind's on Tennessee
        D5              C5         G5
Lookin' back, I can remember the time
       C5                 G5
When I sang my songs for free
C5   D5   G5                 D5
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
       G5                      C5
Take a look at everything you own
    G5       D5        G5           D5     C5 
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
