Country Never Left

(Brian Hendrix)

Just a different way to say "You can take the girl out the country, but can't take the country out the girl." This is a very upbeat, rockin' song with a lot of tempo and a powerful chorus. I really like how this turned out, especially the bridge into the chorus. My favorite part of the song. This is also a story a lot of people can relate to who ended up in the city. The chorus pauses for a measure after the ellipses, and it sounds really good that way.

She’s a-ridin’ down Park Avenue after gettin’ off of work
Crankin’ old Bocephus, shootin’ city folk a smirk
She’s livin’ in a high-rise, sleepin’ under city lights
But dreams about the stars up in that Alabama sky

(Chorus)
‘Cause the country never left
The southern heart within her chest
Still beats for ol’ Dixie
See it in the way she’s dressed
She’s got steel-toe boots, ripped blue jeans
That drawl comes out when she gets mean
Rebel ready, you can bet...
She mighta left the country
But the country never left

Men in suits, and women spending days in some boutique
To pose for pretty pictures, while she puts Skoal in her cheek
Weaving through a crowd of thousands, whistlin’ out a song
She knows she can fit in but still feels she don’t belong

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
She’s only here to earn a livin’
Has to put food in her mouth
Her body might stay in the city
But her soul resides down south

(Chorus)
