[Verse 1] Boots on concrete Dust on my hem I traded silo skies For steel and phlegm Taxi horns holler Sirens cut the air Every face locked on a glowing screen Like I ain't even there [Chorus] I'm a country girl Lost in this city Every corner stinks of cheap perfume and pity All these bright signs buzzing All these strangers pushing Looking round Everything looks shitty (yeah, it does) I came here thinking I'd find a country boy But it’s all cold glass and plastic toys I want stars I want crickets I want dirt under my feet This country girl wants out of this street [Verse 2] Nights don't ever end here They just smear into gray Trucks turn into subway cars And the roosters got replaced by trains Coffee at midnight Sleep at never Nothing slows Nothing softens Just more More More forever [Chorus] I'm a country girl Stuck in this city Every corner stinks of cheap perfume and pity All these bright signs buzzing All these strangers pushing Looking round Everything looks shitty (oh, it's rough) I came here thinking I'd find a country boy But it's slick talk Quick talk Background noise I want fields I want fence posts I want dust in my teeth This country girl wants out of this street [Bridge] Is there one slow heartbeat Anywhere in this grid One muddy truck One crooked grin One porch light that don't blink? 'Cause I'm done with the concrete crown Let it keep its plastic kings I'll take a gravel road and a faded cap Over all this shiny Empty thing (hey!) [Chorus] I'm a country girl Done with this city Every corner stinks of cheap perfume and pity All these bright signs buzzing All these strangers pushing Looking round Everything looks shitty I came here thinking I'd find a country boy Now I'm packing up what's left of my joy Headed home to the sunrise To that red clay creek This country girl is out of this street (I'm gone)
