[HARDY - I AIN'T IN THE COUNTRY NO MORE lyrics]
I drove down to the corner store
Gassed up and headed North
Said goodbye to mom and pops
Church parking lots, roadblocks
And potholes left the name my mama gave me
Right there rocking on the porch
Whoa i never seen so much concrete before
I ain't in the country no more
I got woke up this morning to
A choir of singing sirens
I went out barefoot to watch 'em go by
Cut my foot on sidewalk glass
Gave a hungry man a dollar, he was begging
He was crying
A little later on he was drinking on
A 40 in a paper sack
Whoa i never been got like that before
I guess I ain't in the country no more
No, I ain't in the country no more
Nobody talks like I do, nobody here at all
No, hell yeah, hey y'all but, oh
This raised on hard work boy's gonna
Live a dream till he dies i wish I was
But I ain't in the country no more
In the country no more go
I'm damn proud of my roots
My red wing boots and my blue collar
This chip here on my shoulder is
A town I can't let down
Lord knows I ain't no Jesus but
I'll proudly be the martyr
Spread the word about that nowhere place
That makes the world go 'round
Whoa i ain't in the country no more
No, I ain't in the country no more
Nobody talks like I do, nobody here at all
No, hell yeah, hey y'all but, oh
This raised on hard work boy's gonna
Live a dream till he dies i wish I was
But I ain't in the country no more
In the country no more go
No, I ain't in the country no more
I ain't in the country no more go
