Wanted to be where you were 

New to the town, this little country girl 

Packed her bags 

She up and went 

So she could be where her heart lived 

She aint know no better 

Thought that it would last forever 

But she ended up getting hurt 

Regretted leaving home 

Wished that she had known 

As soon as she got there 

He would be long gone 

But she said 

It's too late to turn back no 

I don't wanna go home now 

But this city love 

Goes way too fast for me 

So baby can you slow it down 

Please pump the brakes, don't speed 

I've got miles and miles of love 

Aint no need to try or rush 

We gon' get there just the same 

Why don't we map out the way? 

Living in this city love 

This city love, city love 

Too fast for the country 

Ohhh la la la la la la 

Too fast for the country 

Ohhh la la la la la la 

Convinced herself not to cry 

It's not her fault they don't see eye to eye 

She can't turn back 

Plus they all think 

She should've stayed home 

From the beginning 

She's gonna' prove 'em wrong 

Even if it take her too long 

To find herself a new love 

Far away from home 

Wished that she had known 

The moment she got there 

He would be long gone 

But she said 

It's too late to turn back no 

I don't wanna go home now 

But this city love 

Goes way too fast for me 

So baby can you slow it down 

Please pump the brakes, don't speed 

I've got miles and miles of love 

Aint no need to try or rush 

We gon' get there just the same 

Why don't we map out the way? 

Living in this city love 

This city love, city love 

Too fast for the country 

She didn't know what to do 

She had nothing left to lose 

She was lost, so confused 

Out of her element, so heartbroken 

Decided to let it go 

Knowing she could turn to nowhere else to go 

Nowhere to pull through 

Nothing to hold to 

Where else could she be 

What else could she do? 

She said 

It's too late to turn back no 

I don't wanna go home now 

But this city love 

Goes way too fast for me 

So baby wont you slow it down 

Please pump the brakes, don't speed 

I've got miles and miles of love 

Aint no need to try or rush 

We gon get there just the same 

Why don't we map out the way? 

Living in this city love 

This city love, city love 

Too fast for the country 

Ohhh la la la la la la 

Too fast for the country 

Ohhh la la la la la la 

I've got miles and miles of love 

Aint no need to try or rush we gon get there just the same 

Why don't we map out the way? 

You aint in the city love 

This city love, city love 

Too fast for the country
