Escaped from the city
With my car and my clothes,
I swore off the whiskey
And the cold

Now i rise with the sun
Do what needs to be done
Then i head to the porch
For a smoke

Well, it’s all well and good
I ain’t doin’ no harm,
I’m just searchin’ for
Country livin’s charm.

Cigarrette in your lips
With your crimson dress on
You knew every word
To every song

Singin’ “say you won’t leave me,
I won't do you wrong”
I know it ain’t easy
Life is long

Then curl me up
Inside your arms
And we'll go searching for country livin’s charms

And i know it ain't easy
Your daddy won't be happy
He had other ideas
But the one thing i know
Is you do what you must
With whoever you trust
And if you gotta go, you gotta go

So say you won’t leave me,
I won’t do you wrong,
I know it ain’t easy
Life is long

I’ll curl you up
Inside my arms,
And we’ll go searching
For country livin’s charms
