She was raised up in Jersey I said oh Lord have mercy Never seen a one light town 'til she moved down here She said I'm so bored out of my mind Need a starbucks and a Wi-Fi Or a jet airliner to fly me anywhere I said do ya wanna take a drive in my truck Don't pay no mind to that 12 point buck Layed across my hood
Chorus: 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 the dirtroad When i rolled down the window She smelt wild flowers on that summer wind Just a bite of homeade icecream And a glass of momma's sweet tea This old holler's got a way of makin friends She never seen a glowin field of fireflies Or the twinkle of a star in a southern sky 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 That's cause I showed her 'round a country boy's world
Oooh, Now she's ridin shot gun Sayin baby lets run wild
And go down to Rome, Georgia Pick peaches off the trees Climb a 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 That's cause I showed her 'round a country boy's world
