City sun goes down at night Makin' way for neon lights Country boy is looking at the moon City girl is dressed just right She may stay out late tonight Country boy just plowed today 'til noon [Chorus:] From Birmingham to Ohio How they met nobody knows Every now and then they get together She used to want to climb the walls She'd never really been loved at all Not until ol' country came to town He's the first one too the room Ice and drinks will be up soon Everything is perfect when she walks in They kiss and hold each other tight They know what's in store tonight Thery're not someplace they have never been [Chorus] She used to want to climb the walls She'd never really been loved at all Not until ol' country came to town
