This workin' all day ain't gettin' me nowhere 
A' breakin' my back won't get it done 
I wish I had a dime, I wish I had a dollar 
For every dream that I gave up on, ya'll 
This hammer I'm swinging is startin' to feel heavy 
I clinched my fist when I punch the clock 
A little for the bank leaves nothin' for my baby 
A' pushin' my paycheck around the block 

Yeah, I need to go face first into that fresh air 
Way up there where the eagle fly 
I need to draw the line in that cool clear water 
And leave the city behind and get country 
Awe, countrified 

A fools gold watch and a lung full of black smoke 
Is all I get now for all I gave 
My only reward for this broken down body 
Was diggin' my way to an early grave 
I always dreamed I'd end up on a river 
Fast asleep on a mountain high 
But I'm stuck down here in this concrete valley 
In a sea of bumpers and red tail lights 

Yeah, I need to go face first into that fresh air 
Way up there where the eagle fly 
I need to draw the line in that cool clear water 
And leave the city behind and get country 
Awe, countrified

Doubletime 

I need to go face first into that fresh air 
Way up there where the eagle fly 
I need to draw the line in that cool clear water 
Leave the city behind and get country 
Oh Yeah countrified 

This workin' all day ain't gettin' me nowhere 
A' breakin' my back won't get it done 
I wish I had a dime, I wish I had a dollar 
For every dream that I gave up on 
Oh, I gave up on 
Oh, yeah 
Countrified
