My heart's in the country and I'm going back My name is on the sign up front in flashing pretty lights Hundreds of people pay to see me every night And after each show they beg me for my autograph They all think I'm happy oh what a laugh Yes my heart's in the country on a farm in Ohio With my mama and daddy and the only friends I know There's a strange different yearning for a farm boy named Jack Yes my heart's in the country and I'm going back Oh I've had my fill of the big towns and all the glaring neon lights I'd give anything to sit by daddy's fireplace late tonight And just once more if I could hear him play some old tune on his violin There'll be no show for me tonight cause I'm going home again Yes my heart's in the country... Yes my heart's in the country now I'm going back
