Country Where You Want To Be

I remember it like it was yesterday
My dad said son we're gonna move to LA
The plant just closed and the money is good
I know you'll miss Georgia we would stay if we could

I said Dad what do think that I'm gonna do
Bout my friends and my truck and my fishing hole too
He just turned, smiled, and said straight to me
Son you can be country where you wanna be

Now I'm driving my big truck down Sunset boulevard
Throwing these old horse shoes in this little yard
Just north at Lake Casitas, there's a 10 pound bass for me
If you put this old boy in the city you'll see
I'm gonna be country where I wanna be

Well the time was here and I couldn't wait
For this day to come I even circled the date
I was sure that I would get outta here
Told my Dad I love him as he wiped away a tear

But life don't go like it ought to be
Couldn't turn down a letter from USC
I was hoping for an offer from UGA
Lord had different plans that's what Daddy would say

Now I'm driving my big truck down Sunset boulevard
Throwing these old horse shoes in this little yard
Just north at Lake Casitas, there's a 10 pound bass for me
If you put this old boy in the city you'll see
I'm gonna be country where I wanna be

I know good country people in Pennsylvania
A friend that sings his country down in South Australia
We don't care what you think of us cause that's just who we are
Just good folks in the US and afar

I'm still driving my big truck down Sunset boulevard
Throwing these old horse shoes in this little yard
Just north at Lake Casitas, there's a 10 pound bass for me
If you put this old boy in the city you'll see
I'm gonna be country where I wanna be
