Lyrics for Your Down Home Is Uptown
Well, they took you out of the country, honey, in a big old fancy car And it wasn't nearly overnight, but you became a star And that sweet love song you wrote me, well, it just hit number two Your down home is uptown, boy, the country's outta you Well, I just read in the paper, honey, how you made the Hall of Fame And I've seen you on the TV with cute Miss What's-Her-Name Well, all your fame and fortune does is tear my heart in two Your down home is uptown, boy, the country's outta you Uptown, where the lights are bright And the girls' mind changes every night Uptown, it's a different world And you forget all about your down home girl Now when the kids come home from school, they ask, "Is daddy home?" And it's hard to face the preacher when he calls up on the phone To try and understand your life is more than I can do Your down home is uptown, boy, the country's outta you Well, uptown, where the lights are bright And the girls' mind changes every night Uptown, it's a different world And you forget all about your down home girl
