I been feeling like a hound on a collar
Need out of this town, need some muddy creek water
Smoke on the ridge and some shine from a holler
With the coyotes singin' in the backwoods

Well, this concrete jungle feels like prison
Noise so loud you can't even listen
This rat race life don't feel like livin'
Like a way out would
(Oh, like a way out would)
Everybody's movin' in, but buddy, I'm leavin'
This eight-lane smog ain't worth breathin'
It ain't giving me the freedom I'm needin'
Like a way out would
(Like a way out)

'Cause I been feeling like a hound on a collar
Need out of this town, need some muddy creek water
Smoke on the ridge and somе shine from a holler
With the coyotеs singin' in the backwoods
These boots need dirt, soul needs savin'
In a place that ain't changed since the good Lord made it
Nothin's gonna do this good old boy some good
Yeah, like a way out would
(I been feeling like a hound on a collar)

Yeah, if the stars burn out and the sun stops risin'
If it all goes south, stocks start divin'
If anywhere's gonna give me a
chance at country boy survivin'
Way out would
(Yeah, a country boy can survive)
Yeah, I need to be way out in them woods

'Cause I been feeling like a hound on a collar
Need out of this town, need some muddy creek water
Smoke on the ridge and some shine from a holler
With the coyotes singin' in the backwoods
These boots need dirt, soul needs savin'
In a place that ain't changed since the good Lord made it
Nothin's gonna do this good old boy some good
Yeah, like a way out would
Oh yeah, like a way out would

Yeah, need a little more time in the pines
Way out in them woods
Little more ease my mind
Would do this old boy good

'Cause I been feeling like a hound on a collar
Need out of this town, need some muddy creek water
Smoke on the ridge and some shine from a holler
(With the coyotes singin' in the backwoods)
These boots need dirt, soul needs savin' (soul needs savin')
In a place that ain't changed since the good Lord made it
(good Lord made it)
Nothin's gonna do this good old boy some good
Yeah, like a way out would
Oh, like a way out would

I been feeling like a hound on a collar
Need out of this town, need some muddy creek water
Smoke on the ridge and some shine from a holler
With the coyotes singin' in the backwoods
