hillbilly heart

The city makes my heart beat change

To a speed I can't endure

I start to sweat and I can't breathe

To me there only is one cure

 

I have to leave the city life

Leave the commotion far behind

I've got to hit the country

For that is where I'll find

 

I have got a hillbilly heart

It's beats in banjo time

I have got a hillbilly heart

Out here, I feel just fine

 

City roads, and shopping malls

Get me riled and confused

I go home feeling *****

I go home feeling used

 

I've got to get away from here

Or I will lose my mind

I've got to hit the country

For that is where I'll find

 

I have got a hillbilly heart

It's beats in banjo time

I have got a hillbilly heart

Out here, I feel just fine

 

I have got a hillbilly heart

It's here that I belong

I have got a hillbilly heart

And it sings a bluegrass song

I have got a hillbilly heart

And it sings a bluegrass song
