City Folk

I’m sitting in a parking lot

We like to call a freeway

Singing ‘bout trucks in my Prius

On my commute I take every day

Wish I was drinkin’ from a bottle

But now I’m in a bottleneck

These boots weren’t made for walkin’

Down these busy city streets

Yeah, cowgirl souls ain’t meant to stroll

On sizzlin’ hot concrete

Wish I was barefoot in dirt

Cuz damn do my feet hurt

Just ‘cause we’re in the city

Don’t mean we ain’t country

‘Cause your heart’s always achin’

No matter what state you’re in

We all drink whisky on ice

But where we’re at it’s always overpriced

Just ‘cause we’re in the city

Don’t mean that we ain’t country

I stand in line around the block

For some froufrou coffee shop

I get a half caf almond milk mocha frappe

With a double espresso shot

But when it comes to tea

I’ll only take it sweet

This third floor apartment

Costs half my salary

And there ain’t no space with three roommates

But at least there’s a balcony

Now we all got rednecks

From crushing beers on the deck

Just ‘cause we’re in the city

Don’t mean we ain’t country

‘Cause your heart’s always achin’

No matter what state you’re in

We all drink whisky on ice

But where we’re at it’s always overpriced

Just ‘cause we’re in the city

Don’t mean that we ain’t country

Most of us ain’t from ‘round here

But we all still call it home

Some are from down the street or way back east

But in the west we want to roam

We still got on our cowboy hats

And that scuffed up pair of boots

You may criticize our uprooted lives

But we’ll never lose our roots

Just ‘cause we’re in the city

Don’t mean we ain’t country

‘Cause your heart’s always achin’

No matter what state you’re in

We all drink whisky on ice

But where we’re at it’s always overpriced

Just ‘cause we’re in the city

Don’t mean that we ain’t country

Just ‘cause we’re in the city

Don’t mean that we ain’t country
