Текст песни
I was born and raised in a little town called Charleston, Tennessee
I used to tell my mama "This little town ain't big enough for me"
Soon as I got old enough, I said "Mama, I'm hitting the road"
Mama said "Son, I won't stand in your way, go on if you got to go"
Mama had tears in her eyes when I got on the bus
She said "Son, whatever you do, don't forget about us"
Wherever you go, whatever you do
Mama's gonna pray for you, son
'Cause I know city life ain't no life for you
Son, oh
I got strung out on big money, fast women, and fine cars
I was the mayor of Playerfield, I thought I was a superstar
But all that fame and fortune didn't satisfy me
When I close my eyes at night, I see Charleston, Tennessee
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
I got to go home
City life ain't no life for me
Oh no, no no, no no no
City life will beat you down, ain't no life for me
City life ain't no life for me
I'm thinking 'bout home back in Tennessee
City life ain't no life for me
Family, I'm missing you
I miss mama and daddy, my sisters and my brother too
City life ain't no life for me, ain't no life for me
City life ain't no life for me
City life ain't no life for me
City life ain't no life for me
