Capo 3
D/F# - 2X0232
G
Livin' in the city
D/F#EmG
Ain't never been my idea of gettin' it on
GD/F#
But the job demands that you make new plans
CGG
Before your big chance is gone
G
You get a house in the hills
D/F#
You're payin' everyone's bills
CG
And they tell you that you're gonna go far
G
But in the back of my mind,
D/F#
I hear it time after time,
C
"Is that who you really are?"
Chorus:
CDGD/F#
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
G7C
But your mind's on Tennessee
DCG
Lookin' back, I can remember the time
CG
When I sang my songs for free
CDGD/F#
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
G7C
Take a look at everything you own
GDGDC
But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home
Talkin' on the telephone
Settin' up another day of people to meet
You've gotta do what's right
You've gotta spend the night
Stayin' in touch with the street
When you're surrounded by friends
They say the fun never ends
But I guess I'll never figure it out
'Cause in the back of my mind
I hear it time after time
"Is this what it's all about?"
Chorus and fade
