Dylan Marlowe - I'll Keep the Country

You never liked it out here anyways
So this shouldn't be too hard
To get your tires turnin' back to where you came from
So we can get a brand new start
You stay on the city side of them city limit signs
I'll stay where the buck shot runs right through it
Oh girl, if we're gonna get through it

Then you keep the lights and I'll keep the stars
I'll stick around where it's too damn far
From the highway, where the lines fade
And there's a little more dirt on a two lane, baby
You keep the fast and I'll keep the slow
I'll keep the train track bump in the road
If either one of us is gonna move on, honey
You keep the town and I'll keep the country
Yeah, I'll keep the country

Yeah, long as I can keep it out where
I won't run into you everywhere I go
Well, you can have them downtown bars
Hang out where the grass don't grow
Oh, you stay on the city side of them city limit signs
I'll stay where the buck shot runs right through it
Oh girl, if we're gonna get through it

You keep the lights and I'll keep the stars
I'll stick around where it's too damn far
From the highway, where the lines fade
And there's a little more dirt on a two lane baby
You keep the fast and I'll keep the slow
I'll keep the train track bump in the road
If either one of us is gonna move on, honey
You keep the town and I'll keep the country
Yeah, I'll keep the country

Yeah, I'll keep the crickets singing
And you can keep your daddy's last name
Oh, we can draw a line in the middle
And baby, let's just keep it real simple

Well, you keep the lights and I'll keep the stars
I'll stick around where it's too damn far
From the highway, where the lines fade
And there's a little more dirt on a two lane baby
You keep the fast and I'll keep the slow
I'll keep the train track bump in the road
If either one of us is gonna move on, honey
You keep the town and I'll keep the country
(You keep the fast and I'll keep the slow)
(I'll keep the train track bump in the road)
Yeah, I'll keep the country (if either one of us is gonna move on, honey)
Oh, you keep the town and I'll keep the country
