Your Down Home Is Uptown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, they took you out of the country, honey In a big old fancy car And it wasn't nearly overnight But you became a star [Verse 2] And that sweet love song you wrote me Well, it just hit number two Your down home is uptown, boy The country's outta you [Verse 3] Well, I just read in the paper, honey How you made the Hall of Fame And I've seen you on the TV With cute Miss What's-Her-Name [Verse 4] Well, all your fame and fortune does Is tear my heart in two Your down home is uptown, boy The country's outta you [Chorus] Uptown Where the lights are bright And the girls' mind changes every night Uptown It's a different world And you forget all about Your down home girl [Verse 5] Now when the kids come home From school they ask, "Is daddy home?" And it's hard to face the preacher when He calls up on the phone [Verse 6] To try and understand your life Is more than I can do Your down home is uptown, boy The country's outta you [Chorus] Well, uptown Where the lights are bright And the girls' mind changes every night Uptown It's a different world And you forget all about Your down home girl
