City Boys

[Verse] Down the old gravel road where the tall pines sway, I've seen city boys come and soon lose their way. They wear shiny shoes, talk of suits and ties, But out here life's simple, under wide open skies. [Verse 2] They bring their fast cars, they bring their cool charms, But soon find that out here, you need workin' arms. Out in the fields, where the sun shines bright, City boys learn quick why our backs are tight. [Chorus] City boys, oh city boys, can't hang with the rural noise, Out here with the crickets and the cattle low. City boys, oh city boys, try to fit but they’re just toys, In a world where only hard hand grows. [Verse 3] They laugh at the twang, they mock our farm, But the rooster's crow means rise up, no alarm. Out here by the river where the wildflowers bloom, City boys soon long for their penthouse rooms. [Verse 4] Their hands get blistered, their hearts grow tough, But deep down they know they're not made of this stuff. They'll try for a while, but can't seem to last, City boys, they move on fast. [Chorus] City boys, oh city boys, can’t hang with the rural noise, Out here with the crickets and the cattle low. City boys, oh city boys, try to fit but they’re just toys, In a world where only hard hand grows.
