Oh, countrified, double time
I always dreamed I'd end up on a river
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
This workin' all day ain't gettin' me nowhere
This hammer I'm swingin' is startin' to feel heavy
Is all I get now for all I gave

Yeah, I need to go face first into that fresh air
A little for the bank leaves nothin' for my baby
Ooh, that I gave up on, oh no
Was diggin' my way to an early grave

I wish I had a dime, I wish I had a dollar
My only reward for this broken down body
Fast asleep on a mountain high
And breakin' my back won't get it done
Yeah, I need to go face first into that fresh air
But I'm stuck down here in this concrete valley
I wish I had a dime, I wish I had a dollar

In a sea of bumpers and red tail lights
A fool's gold watch and a lung full of black smoke
Oh, countrified
I clinched my fist when I punched the clock
Way up there where the eagle fly

Way up there where the eagle flies
For every dream that I gave up on, y'all
I need to draw the line in that cool clear water
For every dream that I gave up on, y'all
I need to draw the line in that cool clear water
Leave the city behind and get country
Oh yeah, countrified
A pushin' my paycheck around the block

Yeah, oh, get more countrified
And leave the city behind and get country
And leave the city behind and get countrified
