lyrics

Got a job in the city
Wearin' holes in my shoes
Walk along gettin' dizzy
Down magnolia avenue
'Cause there's faces on the TV
And there's voices on the phone
And that 5 o'clock shadow
Says this town's gettin' old

I'm goin' back to the mountain
Headed back to the hills
Make good money but it breaks my bones
Long haired woman gonna sing my song
When that mean ol' bastard sun goes down

Bright lights, pretty women
Made a fool outa me
So I drive city limits
Chattanooga, Tennessee
And I sold my religion
To that great big open sky
and like an old time tradition
I've made up my mind
