This working all day ain’t getting me no where
I’m breaking me back, won’t get it done
I wish I had a dime, I wish I had a dollar
For every dream that I gave up on, yall

This hammer I’m swinging is starting to feel heavy
I clench my fists when I punch the clock
A little for the bank leaves nothing for my baby
I’m pushing my paycheck around the block

I need to go face first into that fresh air
Way up there where the Eagle fly
I need to draw the line in that cool clear water
And leave this city behind and get country
Ahhh countrified

A fool’s gold watch and a lung full of black smoke
Is all I get now for all I gave
My only reward for this broking down body
Was digging my way to an early grave

I always dreamed I’d end up on a river
Fast asleep on a mountain high
But I’m stuck down here in this concrete valley
In a sea of bumpers and red tail lights

I need to go face first into that fresh air
Way up there where the Eagle fly
I need to draw the line in that cool clear water
And leave this city behind and get country
Ahhh countrified

Double Time

I need to go face first into that fresh air
Way up there where the Eagle fly
I need to draw the line in that cool clear water
And leave this city behind and get countrified
Ooo yeah,
Countrified

This working all day ain’t getting me no where
I’m breaking me back, won’t get it done
I wish I had a dime, I wish I had a dollar
For every dream that I gave up on, yall
Oo,, oo I gave up on
