Lyrics

First CHORUS
What’s new with you, country boy
Sometimes I think about leavin’ this place
I’ve had enough of this wide-open space
So what’s new with you, country boy
You gotta stop waitin’ on the other side of life

VERSE
I’ve been wantin’ somethin’ good to happen to me
But nothin’ ever does, you see
’Cause she has not walked right through my door
And what’s more
I guess that I’ll just stay right here forever
Waitin’ on the other side of life

Repeat First CHORUS/VERSE
Sometimes I wonder why I’m so scared
To let her know how much I care
Wish I could make the beautiful dream come true
What can I do?
And I’m afraid that I’ll just stay right here forever
Waitin’ on the other side of life

BRIDGE
Woke up this mornin,’ put my big-boy pants on
Took off runnin’ to where I knew she would be
Sang her every love song, oh, I’ve ever known
My God, the beautiful dream came right to me

SOLO/Second CHORUS
So what’s new with you, country boy
I used to think I should leave here for good
Now there’s no way I ever could
Yes, it’s good to be a country boy
’Cause I’ve stopped waitin’ on the other side of life

TAG
Now it’s me and her on the other side of life
