“City livin’ ain’t easy. That kinda says it all already, but the song isn’t meant to further the rural/urban divide. It’s about the workers that do the jobs nobody else wants for frequently less than desirable wages. This is an anthem for the little people that make the world run, all the while still waiting for that wealth to trickle on down. It’s about that dream of finally making it, and owning a little piece of land in the country where you can eat a lot peaches and try and find Jesus on your own” - Jake Bootstrap
"City Livin’"
City livin ain't easy
for a country boy at heart
I need woods, clean air
And two track dirt roads
To keep from fallin' apart
Yet it seems I've gotta find a way
Every single working day
To just keep my head down and do my part
That just ain't been workin' out at all
Lunch break, smoke break,
Listen to a hot take
And try’n make sense if it all
Days go by like yesterday’s wine
I got a lotta nothin’ to show for my time
And that just ain’t been workin’ out at all
Country livin’ comes easy
If your heart’s already there
The buzz of town is a distant dream
Sittin’ in the shade with a breeze in the air
You’ll no longer find your days
Caught up runnin’ in the big rat race
Fighting for the scraps
That the rich folks choose to share
That just ain't been workin' out at all
Lunch break, smoke break,
Listen to a hot take
And try’n make sense if it all
Days go by like yesterday’s wine
I got a lotta nothin’ to show for my time
And that just ain’t been workin’ out at all
