Suit and tie, I start my day Tall glass buildings in my way Meetings, numbers, papers signed But a dirt road fills my mind Traffic lights and neon signs Busy streets and strict deadlines City life is fast and loud But I miss the open ground I make my living in this town But my roots are country ground One gives money, one gives peace One won't let my heart release Front porch nights and gravel roads Fields of green and lighter loads Simple life and starry skies Freedom shining in my eyes Here I climb a corporate line There the sunset still feels mine Every day I feel that call Country heart above it all The city builds the man I am But the farm is where I began No matter where I choose to roam There's a voice that calls me home I'm a businessman in a city of stone But a country boy when I'm alone There's a tractor track in my soul That no skyline can control Concrete streets under my shoes But it's the country that I choose No matter how far I roam My roots will lead me home Maybe one day I'll go back Trade these streets for railroad tracks Till that day I walk this line City world and country mind I'm a businessman in a city of stone But a country boy when I'm alone There's a tractor track in my soul That no skyline can control Concrete streets under my shoes But it's the country that I choose No matter how far I roam My roots will lead me home I'm a businessman in a city of stone But a country boy when I'm alone There's a tractor track in my soul That no skyline can control Concrete streets under my shoes But it's the country that I choose No matter how far I roam My roots will lead me home Suit and tie but boots inside Country heart I cannot hide No matter where these highways roam My heart still beats back home
