For alla youse who think you can only write a country song if you grew up on the country--I respectfully disagree!
I grew up walking on the hard concrete
Of city streets
In my hometown
The subway is a wild, wild ride
If I can get inside
When I wanna go downtown
Well, I love country music
It speaks right to my heart
Their stories are my story too
Don’t matter if I don’t know ‘bout:
Driving a pick up truck down a dusty road
Line dancing in a local bar
Don’t own a pair of fancy cowboy boots
I still love a steel pedal guitar
I’m a city mouse
You’re my country cousin
Different as day and night
But we love to hear the music
That makes everything all right
I’m a girl from Brooklyn
New York City, USA
Don’t judge this book by its cover
Cause I’m country all the way
I get a small-town feeling in my neighborhood
It makes me feel so good
To greet another day
It takes twenty city blocks to make a mile
A sunny day can bring a smile
To my face
(But) I love my country music
It speaks right to my heart
Their stories are my story too
Don’t matter if they don’t sing about:
Ordering Thai when you don’t wanna cook
A 24-hour bodega is never far
The lights of the city, always so bright
But I want to see a show of stars
I’m a city mouse
You’re my country cousin
Different as day and night
But we love to hear the music
That makes everything all right
I’m a girl from Brooklyn
New York City, USA
Don’t judge this book by its cover
Cause I’m country all the way

There’s a great tune! What a voice!
And you nailed it don’t have to be in Nashville to write country! This was great thanks for posting

what a great idea! as a city mouse as well, I can relate! (and doing a country song about ordering thai food and figuring out which subway line has construction this weekend sounds like a great song idea!) love that inclusive music message, too! really nice to hear- and you sound great! (great to see ya back here, too!)
