Country in Her Eyes

She was raised by the streetlights

The city glow was all she knew

She'd never seen the starlit night

Never seen a country view

Always stayed in her own lane

Paint on the road told her where to go

But beyond the towers and rush hour

Where the southern winds blow

There's an open field and songbirds flyin' and a

Gravel road and the sweet sun shinin'

Not a cloud to cast a shadow from the Tennessee sky

Where the river flows for miles and miles and

Every heart is free to run wild

Even though she's not there

She's got the country in her eyes

She wasn't made for the traffic jams

And all her friends don't understand

How it feels to live in a prison cell

Longing for the place

Where there's an open field and songbirds flyin' and a

Gravel road and the sweet sun shinin'

Not a cloud to cast a shadow from the Tennessee sky

Where the river flows for miles and miles and

Every heart is free to run wild

Even though she's not there

She's got the country in her eyes

She's got her bags packed

She's drivin' away

She ain't lookin' back

Speedin' down the highway

Goin' out of town

Leavin' her life behind

Rolled her windows down

Past that city limit sign

Where there's an open field and songbirds flyin' and a

Gravel road and the sweet sun shinin'

Not a cloud to cast a shadow from the Tennessee sky

Where the river flows for miles and miles and her

Heart is free, free to run wild

Even after all this time

She's got the country in her eyes

Oh, country in her eyes
