Lyrics for Song: My Heart's in the Country
Lyrics for Album: My Hearts in the Country (RCA Victor) [1966]
(Larry Kingston - Felton Jarvis)
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 in place 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 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.
Yes, my heart's in the country now I'm going back...
