My heart's in the country
And I'm going back
My name is on the sign up front
In flashing pretty lights

Hundreds of people pay to see me every night
And after each show they beg me for my autograph
They all think I'm happy
Oh, what a laugh

Yes, my heart's in the country on a farm in Ohio
With my mama and daddy
And the only friends I know
There's a strange different yearning for a farm boy named Jack
Yes, my heart's in the country
And I'm going back

Oh, I've had my fill of the big towns
And all the glaring neon lights
I'd give anything to sit by daddy's fireplace late tonight
And just once more
If I could hear him play some old tune on his violin
There'll be no show for me tonight
'Cause I'm going home again

Yes, my heart's in the country...
Yes, my heart's in the country
Now I'm going back
