Lyrics
Fell in love with a girl from Philadelphia
It was all such a whirl and then she took me away
From the place I love down south, she sure talks funny but i love her mouth so I'm compromising where I'm gonna stay
Yeah I'm keeping it country staying loyal to my roots
She can move me away but I won't give up my boots
Yeah I'm keeping it country, I'll never lose my hat
She's the woman I love and she knows she can't change that
You know when it's right that you're gonna compromise
So it's now city lights no more open country skies
Yeah I gave up the old John Deere, it sure looks like I won't need it here so I guess I'm gonna look for other highs
If I can't have it all then I'll go with what I can
I'll be keeping my drawl and I know she understands
I gave up the things I love cause I'm putting her in a class above
And she knows that It was never what I planned
