Country Kid Lyrics The Avett Brothers

I was a country kid through and through

I got my bare feet bit by a wreckin' crew

Of fire ants on a mission for total domination of the font yard

Three years old on a ramshackle farm

Winnie-the-Pooh in the crook of my arm

Brother and sister not meaning no harm, pickin' on me

Gettin' myself a whole second education in the back of the bus

Kids kissin' and cussin' all around me

One more pickup in the trailer park

Hand to mouth, livin'll break a young heart

Beautiful girl with a hard, hard look in her eyes

Then I grew up and hit the city

But the skyscrapers never get me

I fly above 'em all the time, straight through cloud nine

Flowing fast like the Mississippi

Hidin' smokes in the pocket of a homemade shirt

Runnin' laps in the yard until my little legs hurt and then goin' again

Six feet of air off a plywood ramp

Dad's welding machine parked where I would land

All I could taste was blood, all I could feel were the rocks

In the palms of my hands

I was a country kid throwin' parties in the woods

Draggin' my friends out of their neighborhoods

Jealous of their cable TV and their girls next door

Slippin' off into the dark of night

The shape of a body traced by moonlight

Interrupted by some other kid wantin' to fight over her

Then I grew up and hit the city

But the skyscrapers never get me

I fly above 'em all the time, straight through cloud nine

Flowing fast like the Mississippi

Flowing fast like the Mississippi

Woo!

I was a country kid

Now I'm grown, with a job and a wife and a son of my own

Navigatin' time zones, inspectin' the bones of the second half

Talkin' to God a little more often

Less requests and more sayin', "Thank you"

For every single town and every single acre in between

'Cause I grew up and hit the city

But that metropolis'll never get me

I fly above it all the time, straight through cloud nine

Flowing fast like the Mississippi

Yeah, I grew up and hit the city

But the skyscrapers never get me

I fly above 'em all the time, straight through cloud nine

Flowing fast like the Mississippi
