Country Livin’ Blues (The Magnolia Sessions version) Lyrics by Jason Dea West

The Magnolia Sessions

2020

[Intro, spoken]
Uh, Nashville looks a lot different than it did, uh, eight years ago
Seemed like when I was here all I wanted to do what hang out in the big city
Out where- that's where everything was happening
Now all I wanna do is get further and further away from everything
Gonna have to move to Alaska soon enough
This one's called "The Country Livin' Blues"
[Verse 1]
(Yeah)
I tried my luck in a city
Well, I learned all sorts a' new things there
I spent my money in the city
Well, I paid a man to chop my hair (surely did)
[Verse 2]
Well, I've got me a job in the city
I make about eighty bucks a day, hey hey hey
Don't it seem like a shame or a pity?
But ain't that the city-living way?
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, it's the end of summer time and I've got a restless mind
Well, I'm down right sick of the news
I want to go on wine
I've got to get back to mountain time
I've got them country-livin' blues
[Chorus]
I wanna go back Montana on my way down to Tennessee
I gotta see some family in Wisconsin, I gotta see a friend down in Kentucky
I been dreamin' o' Wyoming, out there in that open west
Had my fill of the city-livin', country life is what I know best
[Verse 3]
My life was fine in the country
Then I got an idea I better up and move to town
Well, now I long for the country
And I wish a strong wind would come blow this city down
(Ah, man, there it goes)
[Verse 4]
But I fell in love in the city
And she don't care for cows and things
She likes things smooth and pretty
And don't much like the way I sing
[Pre-Chorus]
That city gal was mine just for a short time
My Irish heart's been bruised
Well, I want to go on wine
I've got one place on my mind
You know I've got them country-livin' blues
Got 'em bad
[Chorus]
I wanna go back Montana on my way down to Tennessee
I gotta see some family in Wisconsin, I gotta see a friend down in Kentucky
Well, I'm dreamin' o' Wyoming, out there in that open west
Had my fill of the city-livin', country life is what I know best
