Lyrics:
I was a country kid
Through and through,
I got my bare feet bit by a wreckin' crew
Of fire ants on a mission for total domination
Of the front yard
Three years old
On a ramshackle farm
Winnie-the-pooh in the crook of my arm
Brother and sister not meaning no harm
Picking on me
I was a country kid
With a strong foundation
Gettin' myself a whole second education
In the back a' the bus
Kids kissin' and cussin' all around me
One more pickup in the trailer park
Hand to mouth livin'll break a young heart
Beautiful girl with a hard hard look in her eyes
Then I grew up and hit the city
But the skyscrapers never get me
I fly above it all the time
Straight through cloud nine
Flowing fast like the Mississippi
I was a country kid
Shootin' hoops in the dirt
Hidin' smokes in the pocket of a homemade shirt
Runnin' laps in the yard
Until my little legs hurt and then goin' again
Six feet of air off a plywood ramp
Dad's welding machine parked where I would land
All I could taste was blood
All I could feel were the rocks
In the palms of my hands
I was a country kid
Throwin' parties in the woods
Draggin' my friends out of their neighborhoods
Jealous of the cable tv
And their girls next door
Slippin' off into the dark of night
The shape of a body traced by moonlight
Interrupted by some other kid wantin' to fight over her
Then I grew up and hit the city
But the skyscrapers never get me
I fly above it all the time
Straight through cloud nine
Flowing fast like the Mississippi
Flowing fast like the Mississippi
I was a country kid
Now I'm grown with a job and a wife
And a son of my own
Navigatin' time zones
Inspectin' the bones of the second half
Talkin to God a little more often
Less requests
And more sayin' thank you
For every single town
And ev'ry single acre in between
Cause I grew up
and hit the city
But that metropolis'll never get me
I fly above it all the time
Straight through cloud nine
Flowing fast like the Mississippi
Yeah I grew up and hit the city
But the skyscrapers never get me
I fly above it all the time
Straight through cloud nine
Flowing fast like the Mississippi
