Lyrics

God spoke to me at the dog races "Son, ain't you tired tripping over your shoelaces? Get you some cowboy boots Do like you supposed to do White boy ain't born to sing the blues" I'm going country Going to Nashville, Tennessee I'm going country Clean, God-fearing place to raise my family I'm going country Rock and roll ain't working out for me I'm going country Jesus has left the building a long time ago Praying over what they playing on the country radio Headed east, music highway Promise land bound, gonna go right ahead Before Jesus burned the honky tonk down I'm going country Going to Nashville, Tennessee I'm going country Clean, God-fearing place to raise my family I'm going country Rock and roll ain't working out for me I'm going country Stepped over St. Peter at the bus station "Take off your cowboy hat in heaven Son, you escaped damnation" My father said, "Son, you did the one thing I told you not to do" Memphis boy never hang up his rock and roll shoes I'm going country Going to Nashville, Tennessee I'm going country Rock and roll ain't working out for me I'm going country Home of the blues just ain't no place to be
