Verse 1
 
Bb
Livin' in the city
      Fm7           Eb                 Bb
Ain't never been my idea of gettin' it on
                             Fm7
But the job demands that you make new plans
 Eb                       Bb   Eb Bb
Before your big chance is gone
          Bb
You get a house in the hills
              F
You're payin' everyone's bills
         Eb                            Bb
And they tell you that you're gonna go far
 
But in the back of my mind
          F
I hear it time after time
   Eb
Is that who you really are
 
Chorus 1
 
Eb  F   Bb               F
Country boy you got your feet in L.A.
         Fm7             Eb
But your mind's on Tennessee
        F          Eb           Bb
Lookin' back I can remember the time
       Eb                 Bb
When I sang my songs for free
Eb  F   Bb               F
Country boy you got your feet in L.A.
       Fm7                    Eb
Take a look at everything you own
    F                                 Eb   Bb
But now and then my heart keeps goin' home
 
F  Eb  Bb  F  Eb
 
Verse 2
 
Bb
Talkin' on the telephone
Fm7                Eb               Bb
Settin' up another day of people to meet
 
You've gotta do what's right
             Fm7
You've gotta spend the night
Eb                        Bb     Eb  Bb
Stayin' in touch with the street
 
When you're surrounded by friends
             F
They say the fun never ends
      Eb                         Bb
But I guess I'll never figure it out
 
'Cause in the back of my mind
          F
I hear it time after time
   Eb
Is this what it's all about
 
Chorus 2
 
Eb   F  Bb               F
Country boy you got your feet in L.A.
         Fm7            Eb
But your mind's on Tennessee
        F
Lookin' back I can remember the time
       Eb      F         Bb
When I sang my songs for free
Eb  F   Bb                F
Country boy you got your feet in L.A.
        Fm7                   Eb
Take a look at everything you own
    F                                 Eb  Bb
But now and then my heart keeps goin' home
