Lyrics:

I was a country kid

Through and through,

I got my bare feet bit by a wreckin' crew

Of fire ants on a mission for total domination

Of the front yard

Three years old

On a ramshackle farm

Winnie-the-pooh in the crook of my arm

Brother and sister not meaning no harm

Picking on me

I was a country kid

With a strong foundation

Gettin' myself a whole second education

In the back a' the bus

Kids kissin' and cussin' all around me

One more pickup in the trailer park

Hand to mouth livin'll break a young heart

Beautiful girl with a hard hard look in her eyes

Then I grew up and hit the city

But the skyscrapers never get me

I fly above it all the time

Straight through cloud nine

Flowing fast like the Mississippi

I was a country kid

Shootin' hoops in the dirt

Hidin' smokes in the pocket of a homemade shirt

Runnin' laps in the yard

Until my little legs hurt and then goin' again

Six feet of air off a plywood ramp

Dad's welding machine parked where I would land

All I could taste was blood

All I could feel were the rocks

In the palms of my hands

I was a country kid

Throwin' parties in the woods

Draggin' my friends out of their neighborhoods

Jealous of the cable tv

And their girls next door

Slippin' off into the dark of night

The shape of a body traced by moonlight

Interrupted by some other kid wantin' to fight over her

Then I grew up and hit the city

But the skyscrapers never get me

I fly above it all the time

Straight through cloud nine

Flowing fast like the Mississippi

Flowing fast like the Mississippi

I was a country kid

Now I'm grown with a job and a wife

And a son of my own

Navigatin' time zones

Inspectin' the bones of the second half

Talkin to God a little more often

Less requests

And more sayin' thank you

For every single town

And ev'ry single acre in between

Cause I grew up

and hit the city

But that metropolis'll never get me

I fly above it all the time

Straight through cloud nine

Flowing fast like the Mississippi

Yeah I grew up and hit the city

But the skyscrapers never get me

I fly above it all the time

Straight through cloud nine

Flowing fast like the Mississippi
