God spoke to me at the dog races
Son, ain't you tired of trippin' over your shoe laces
Get you some cowboy boots
do like you supposed to do
White boys ain't born to sing the blues
I'm goin' country
Goin' to Nashville, Tennessee
I'm goin' country
Clean, God fearing place to raise my family
I'm goin' country
Rock 'n roll ain't workin' out for me
Jesus has left the building, a long time ago
Prayin' over what they playin' on the country radio
Headed east, music highway, promised land bound
Gonna co write a hit
before Jesus burn the honky tonk down
I'm goin' country
Goin' to Nashville, Tennessee
I'm goin' country
Clean, God fearing place to raise my family
I'm goin' country
Rock 'n roll ain't workin' out for me
Have mercy
Stepped over St Peter at the bus station
Take off your cowboy hat in heaven, son
you escaped damnation
My father said
Son, you did the one thing I told you not to do
Memphis boy never hang up his rock 'n roll shoes
I'm goin' country
Goin' to Nashville, Tennessee
I'm goin' country
Clean, God fearing place to raise my family
I'm goin' country
Rock 'n roll ain't workin' out for me
Home of the blues just ain't no place to be
