She was raised up in Jersey
I said, "Oh, Lord have mercy!"
Never seen a one-light town till she moved down here.
She said, "I'm so bored outta my mind.
Need a Starbucks and a Wi-fi.
Or a jet airliner to fly me anywhere."
I said, "Do you wanna take a drive in my truck?
Don't pay no mind to that twelve point buck
Laid across my hood."
Chorus
You ever been to Rome, Georgia?
Picked peaches off the trees
Climbed a water tower in Paris, Tennessee
Been to Florence, Alabama
Drank Muscadine wine
Just give me a chance to change your mind
So before you go and fly away girl
Let me show you 'round a country boy's world.
Somewhere between there on a dirt road
When I rolled down the window
She smelled the wildflowers on that summer wind
Just a bite of homeade ice cream
And a glass of Mama's sweet tea
This ol' hollar's got a way of makin' freinds.
She'd never seen a glowin' feild of fireflies
Or the twinkle of a star in a southern sky
And she fell in love.
We went down to Rome, Georgia
Picked peaches off the trees
Climbed a water tower in Paris, Tennessee
Went to Florence, Alabama
Drank Muscadine wine
She gave me a chance and I made her mine
Said she'll never fly away and she's my girl
It's cause I showed her round a country boy's world.
Oh, now she's ridin' shotgun, sayin' baby let's run wild.
And go down to Rome, Georgia
Pick peaches off the trees
Climbed the water tower in Paris, Tennessee
Go to Florence, Alabama
Drink Muscadine wine
She gave me a chance and I made her mine.
Said she'll never fly away and she's my girl.
It's cause I showed her 'round a country boy's world
