Baylor County

[Verse 1]
Never liked to answer to nobody
I wish that there could be a better way
City slickers trynna take the country
And we can't pay to keep the man away

[Verse 2]
See I left home for a higher way of living
Not knowing busy living wasn't where to be
And I've been playing tunes all around the country
Now the country's the only place I want to be

[Chorus]
Now I'm standing corner of the future of and old manners
Wondering how long we're gonna last
Well the fields of gold are good for the soul
And the cotton keeps you living
I wish I could have lived here in the past
Yea I wish I could have lived here in the past

[Verse 3]
Finally found a place to call my home
Somewhere that I never want to leave
The Texas sky just took away my pain
Freedom just as far as I can see

[Chorus]
Now I'm standing corner of the future of and old manners
Wondering how long we're gonna last
Well the fields of gold are good for the soul
And the cotton keeps you living
I wish I could have lived here in the past
Yea I wish I could have lived here in the past

[Verse 4]
When I'm dead and gone they'll take my memory
And sell it to the highest bidder's hand
They'll wonder why they're running out of country
And find that simple life in high demand

[Chorus]
Now I'm standing corner of the future of and old manners
Wondering how long we're gonna last
Well the fields of gold are good for the soul
And the cotton keeps you living
I wish I could have lived here in the past
Yea I wish I could have lived here in the past
Aww yea
