Hillbilly Heart

The city makes my heart beat change To a speed I can't endure I start to sweat and I can't breathe To me there only is one cure I have to leave the city life Leave the commotion far behind I've got to hit the country For that is where I'll find I have got a hillbilly heart It's beats in banjo time I have got a hillbilly heart Out here, I feel just fine City roads, and shopping malls Get me riled and confused I go home feeling dirty I go home feeling used I've got to get away from here Or I will lose my mind I've got to hit the country For that is where I'll find I have got a hillbilly heart It's beats in banjo time I have got a hillbilly heart Out here, I feel just fine I have got a hillbilly heart It's here that I belong I have got a hillbilly heart And it sings a bluegrass song I have got a hillbilly heart And it sings a bluegrass song
