[Verse 1]
I was a country kid through and through
I got my bare feet bit by a wreckin' crew
Of fire ants on a mission for total domination of the front yard

Three years old on a ramshackle farm
Winnie-the-Pooh in the crook of my arm
Brother and sister not meaning no harm, pickin' on me

I was a country kid with a strong foundation
Gettin' myself a whole second education in the back of the bus
Kids kissin' and cussin' all around me

One more pickup in the trailer park
Hand to mouth livin'll break a young heart
Beautiful girl with a hard, hard look in her eyes

[Chorus]
Then I grew up and hit the city
But the skyscrapers never get me
I fly above 'em all the time, straight through cloud nine
Flowing fast like the Mississippi

[Verse 2]
I was a country kid shootin' hoops in the dirt
Hidin' smokes in the pocket of a homemade shirt
Runnin' laps in the yard until my little legs hurt and then goin' again
