Your Down Home Is Uptown - Live
Well, they took you out of the country, honey
In a big old fancy car
And it wasn't nearly overnight
But you became a star
And that sweet love song you wrote me
Well, it just hit number two
Your down home is uptown, boy
The country's outta you
Well, I just read in the paper, honey
How you made the Hall of Fame
And I've seen you on the TV
With cute Miss What's-Her-Name
Well, all your fame and fortune does
Is tearing my heart in two
Your down home is uptown, boy
The country's outta you
Uptown where the lights are bright
And the girls' mind changes every night
Uptown it's a different world
And you forget all about your down home girl
Lucky you are
Now when the kids come home from school they ask
"Is daddy home?"
And it's hard to face the preacher when he calls up on the phone
To try and understand your life is more than I can do
Your down home is uptown, boy
The country's outta you
Uptown where the lights are bright
And the girls' mind changes every night
Uptown it's a different world
And you forget all about your down home girl
Yeah Chris O'Connell right there
Yeah why thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
Yeah hey we're in the bar here uh drinking water
Hey that was Dan Walton up right there you know all about that now, don't you huh?
We got it, we got it oh yeah
We'd like to get now
I'm screwed down with all this stuff here that I sign the wallpapers so I'm screwed down
Here comes a little thing right now that uh I'm gonna sing
Now Leroy's gonna sing
And How's that?
Leroy's gonna sing this tune he wrote it
Now Flod you gotta play the piano
We gotta do this right now and uh Leroy wrote this
And uh he's gonna sing it and uh we're gonna do it right now
Well if you're out there who uh I'll try to think of something
Well if you're out there you uh have been left time one or another

Here comes Leroy and a little thing called
Leroy and a little thing called I'm The Fool Who Told You to Go
One, two, three
In a big old fancy car
And it wasn't nearly overnight
But you became a star
And that sweet love song you wrote me
Well, it just hit number two
Your down home is uptown, boy
The country's outta you
