City Don't Lyrics

City don't let ya walk a field
With your fingertips runnin' 'cross the top of waist high hay
It don't have a quarter mile of red lights
Where everybody waves at your Chevrolet
The city don't grow the kind of girls
That rather river bank, drink beer, and dance in the mud
I ain't sayin' that high-rise life is wrong
But right here is what I love

They got five stars, we got millions
They got nice bars, we got sippin' straight out of a can
On somebody's land with a homegrown girl
And a God-made tan singin', "Goodbye Earl"
Got everything I need, everything I could want
'Cause the country does something for me the city don't
Ah, the city don't

The city don't have a dirt road gravel parkin' lot steeple
Where you find your forgiveness
And it don't have no farm pond, honey hole
You know you can always go catch a fish
The city don't sleep slowed down
Don't know how to kick back or take a break
I ain't sayin' those high-rise folks are wrong
But I kinda like it this way

They got five stars, we got millions
They got nice bars, we got sippin' straight out of a can
On somebody's land with a homegrown girl
And a God-made tan singin', "Goodbye Earl"
Got everything I need, everything I could want
'Cause the country does something for me the city don't
Ah, the city don't

Yeah, it feels like home to me as long as I got a little mud on my boots
So, anywhere made of concrete, I could never lay down my roots

They got five stars, we got millions
They got nice bars, we got sippin' straight out of a can
On somebody's land with a homegrown girl
And a God-made tan singin', "Goodbye Earl"
Got everything I need, everything I could want
'Cause the country does something for me the city don't
Ah, the city don't
Mmhm

What is the Meaning of City Don't?

In this heartfelt anthem, Billy Currington extols the virtues of country living over city life. He brings to life the simple joys and pleasures of rural existence - walking across a field, waving at passing cars, and fishing in a farm pond. The song is not just about physical locations but also about values and attitudes. It's an ode to slowing down, appreciating nature, and valuing community over material wealth. The underlying message is that while city life may offer certain luxuries like five-star hotels and nice bars, the country provides a sense of contentment, peace, and fulfillment that the city can't replicate. #CountryLife #SimpleJoys #NatureLovers #CommunityValues
