City Boy, Country Soul

Lyrics

[Intro] Dallas to Florida, five years old City raised, but the country heart never got sold [Verse 1: Male] Born in Dallas, packed up when I was five Florida sun and a whole new life Grew up in the city, learned to make my way But a redneck country boy don’t change [Verse 2: Female] I know that look when the old songs play Nineties country still runs through your veins From the first clean-up to the last call light You’ve been working hard, you’ve been doing it right [Chorus: Duet] From the carpet to the club, from the booth to the field I’ve been chasing every chance, I’ve been living what I feel City boy, country soul, still got that backroad heart I’ve been through it all, and I’m just getting started [Verse 3: Male] Cleaning carpets most of my life, knee deep in the grind Then I owned and ran the clubs, kept the whole place in line Nightclub doors, strip club floors, I knew every face Then I spun for the big names, put the crowd in a place [Verse 4: Female] You turned up the records, made the whole room move From the club to the concert, you had nothing to prove A DJ with a pulse, a manager with a plan You built your own road, you made your own stand [Chorus: Duet] From the carpet to the club, from the booth to the field I’ve been chasing every chance, I’ve been living what I feel City boy, country soul, still got that backroad heart I’ve been through it all, and I’m just getting started [Rap Breakdown: Male] Dallas born, Florida raised, five years and a new zip code City blocks in my memory, country blood in my veins, no fake Carpet cleaner, club owner, manager, kept the books and the doors Then I took that turntable, made the whole crowd roar Major artists, major stages, hip-hop in the mix Concert lights, club nights, I was living that life Now I’m security manager, major league sports on the floor Keep the crowd safe, keep the game moving, that’s what I’m here for Nineties country in my head, new beats in my hands I’ve changed the scene a few times, still the same kind of man [Bridge: Duet] You don’t have to pick a side, you can carry both The small-town heart and the big-stage road Every job, every mile, every name you knew Made the man you are, and the man you’re becoming too [Final Chorus: Duet] From the carpet to the club, from the booth to the field I’ve been chasing every chance, I’ve been living what I feel City boy, country soul, still got that backroad heart I’ve been through it all, and I’m just getting started [Outro: Duet] Dallas to Florida, still that country heart City raised, redneck soul, and I’m just getting started
