Working in the city every day
Gotta make a living any way
Never get the time to turn around
Gotta get my feet back on the ground
Living in the city don't bring me no joy
'Cos deep down inside I'm still just a country boy

Since I was a boy I'd played it cool
Never used to worry what I'd do
Now I push a pen from nine till five
Waiting for my pension to arrive
Living in the city don't bring me no joy
'Cos deep down inside I'm still just a country boy

Queen of the River, she's so fine
Gonna take a trip back down the line
Back to the country one more time
Try and find myself some peace of mind
Living in the city don't bring me no joy
'Cos deep down inside I'm still just a country boy
Country boy .. etc
