Lyric I m A Country Boy

(Allen Collins - Ronnie VanZant)

New York City is a thousand miles away
And if you ask me, I ll tell you that s OK
Now I m not trying to put the big apple down
Cause they don t need a man like me in town
I pick cotton down on the Dixie line
Work hard all day tryin to make a dime
But that s allright, that s OK by me
Cause that s the way that it was meant to be

Big city, hard times don t bother me
I m a country boy, I m as happy as I can be

I don t like smoke chokin up my air
And some of those city folks well they don t care
I don t like cars buzzing around
I don t even want a piece of concrete in my town
I like sunshine, fresh clean air
Makes me feel like you wouldn t care but
that s all right, each to his own
But one smell from the city
And this country boy is gone
Big city, hard times don t bother me
I m a country boy, I m as happy as I can be

Well, I don t want to even read about itLet me tell you something, let me tell you true
What s right for me might not be right for you
Well, you live your way, I ll live mine
And I hope that your happy all the time
I pick cotton down on the Dixie line
Work hard all day tryin to make a dime
But that s all right, that s OK by me
Cause that s the way that it was supposed to be


Big city, hard times never bother me
I m a country boy, I m as happy as I can be

Let me tell ya, ... I said
Big city, hard times never bother me
I m a country boy, I m as happy as I can be
Ooh, that s my way, baby
I don t want you to even tell me about the big city
I don t want to read about it...
