Bill Anderson - Concrete lyrics
Your rating:
To a boy who grew up walking in the woods And the fields of South Carolina This big ole city feels hard underneath my feet And to a kid who ain't never heard a noise A whole lot louder than a freight train I get scared sometimes just standing here along the street. Concrete, concrete, everywhere I turn there's concrete Found in the pavement day after day I wanna go home Where the sun shines and the tall pines and the earth and the heavens meet I'd rather starve on a poor dirt farm Than to stay here surrounded by the concrete 'Cause it's turnin' me into concrete. My kids ain't never gone wadin' in a creek Or cuttin' down cane for fishing They've never seen a blackberry growin' wild Sometimes I get to missin' it so I almost take to crying I'm cursed with the body of a man And the heart of a child. Concrete, concrete, everywhere I turn there's concrete Found in the pavement day after day I wanna go home Where the sun shines and the tall pines and the earth and the heavens meet I'd rather starve on a poor dirt farm Than to stay here surrounded by the concrete 'Cause it's turnin' me into concrete...
