This workin' all day ain't gettin' me nowhere 

A' breakin' my back won't get it done 

I wish I had a dime, I wish I had a dollar 

For every dream that I gave up on, ya'll 

This hammer I'm swinging is startin' to feel heavy 

I clinched my fist when I punch the clock 

A little for the bank leaves nothin' for my baby 

A' pushin' my paycheck around the block 



Yeah, I need to go face first into that fresh air 

Way up there where the eagle fly 

I need to draw the line in that cool clear water 

And leave the city behind and get country 

Awe, countrified 



A fools gold watch and a lung full of black smoke 

Is all I get now for all I gave 

My only reward for this broken down body 

Was diggin' my way to an early grave 

I always dreamed I'd end up on a river 

Fast asleep on a mountain high 

But I'm stuck down here in this concrete valley 

In a sea of bumpers and red tail lights 



Yeah, I need to go face first into that fresh air 

Way up there where the eagle fly 

I need to draw the line in that cool clear water 

And leave the city behind and get country 

Awe, countrified



Doubletime 



I need to go face first into that fresh air 

Way up there where the eagle fly 

I need to draw the line in that cool clear water 

Leave the city behind and get country 

Oh Yeah countrified 



This workin' all day ain't gettin' me nowhere 

A' breakin' my back won't get it done 

I wish I had a dime, I wish I had a dollar 

For every dream that I gave up on 

Oh, I gave up on 

Oh, yeah 

Countrified
