Countrified
Yearning for Countrified Freedom
Lyrics
This workin' all day ain't gettin' me nowhere
This continuous work isn't leading me anywhere.
A breakin' my back won't get it done
Straining myself physically won't accomplish the task.
I wish I had a dime, I wish I had a dollar
Expressing a desire for greater financial stability.
For every dream that I gave up on, y'all
Regret over abandoning numerous aspirations.
This hammer I'm swingin' is startin' to feel heavy
The labor is becoming increasingly burdensome.
I clinched my fist when I punched the clock
Signifying frustration with the routine of clocking in.
A little for the bank leaves nothin' for my baby
Little money left for personal enjoyment or family.
A pushin' my paycheck around the block
Struggling to manage finances effectively.
Yeah, I need to go face first into that fresh air
An intense desire to escape to a refreshing environment.
Way up there where the eagle fly
Yearning for a serene and uplifting setting.
I need to draw the line in that cool clear water
Seeking clarity and decisiveness.
And leave the city behind and get country
Wishing to leave urban life behind for a rural one.
Oh, countrified
Embracing a country lifestyle wholeheartedly.
A fool's gold watch and a lung full of black smoke
Feeling undervalued for hard work.
Is all I get now for all I gave
Receiving meager rewards despite significant effort.
My only reward for this broken down body
Realizing physical deterioration as the only outcome.
Was diggin' my way to an early grave
Sensing a bleak future despite efforts.
I always dreamed I'd end up on a river
An envisioned peaceful and natural destination.
Fast asleep on a mountain high
Desiring a tranquil and elevated location.
But I'm stuck down here in this concrete valley
Feeling trapped in an urban environment.
In a sea of bumpers and red tail lights
Surrounded by congested traffic and frustration.
Yeah, I need to go face first into that fresh air
Reiterating the yearning for fresh, invigorating air.
Way up there where the eagle fly
Desire to be in a free and natural environment.
I need to draw the line in that cool clear water
Longing for a clear and definitive path.
Leave the city behind and get country
Choosing to abandon city life for rural simplicity.
Oh, countrified, double time
Expressing a strong affinity for a rural lifestyle.
Yeah, I need to go face first into that fresh air
Repeating the desire to experience fresh, open spaces.
Way up there where the eagle flies
Aspiring to be in a free and expansive setting.
I need to draw the line in that cool clear water
Seeking clarity and decisiveness.
And leave the city behind and get countrified
Emphasizing the choice to embrace a country lifestyle.
Oh yeah, countrified
Reaffirming the preference for a rural lifestyle.
This workin' all day ain't gettin' me nowhere
Reiteration of dissatisfaction with current work.
And breakin' my back won't get it done
Realization that excessive physical labor isn't beneficial.
I wish I had a dime, I wish I had a dollar
Wishing for more financial stability to pursue dreams.
For every dream that I gave up on, y'all
Regret over abandoning multiple aspirations.
Ooh, that I gave up on, oh no
Expressing regret over forsaken dreams.
Yeah, oh, get more countrified
An urging to embrace a more rural lifestyle.
