Country Again

Thomas Rhett

I quit hunting with my daddy, guess I didn’t make the time

And it’s been a year since I’ve seen a deer

And a small mouth on the line

The other day I hooked a monster and as I reeled him in

I thought ‘man it feels good to be country again’

I spent way less time in Nashville and more time in L.A.

My back home buddies, they quit calling

Thought I had too much on my plate

But last night we cracked some cold beers

And cranked Eric Church to ten

Thought man it feels good to be country again

Yeah, I love me some California, but it sure ain’t Tennessee

And my roots down there in Georgia, yeah they start missing me

And I wouldn’t trade the things I’ve done or the places that I’ve been

Man it feels good to be country again

I traded in my Silverado, I didn’t need no four by four

I tucked my boots in the back of the closet

They didn’t feel like me no more

But I dug ’em out and slipped ’em on

They’ve been on my feet since then

Man it feels good to be country again

Woooh

Yeah, I love me some California, but it sure ain’t Tennessee

And my roots down there in Georgia, yeah they start missing me

And I wouldn’t trade the things I’ve done or the places that I’ve been

Man it feels good to be country again

I traded sunsets with my wife, for hours on my phone

And even when I was right beside her, I still wasn’t really home

But last night we built a fire

I watched the moonlight kiss her skin

I thought ‘man it feels good to be country again’

Man it feels good to be country again

Yeah, I saw the light, I found my way home

I’ll thank you, Lord, Amen

Man it feels good to be country again

Review

It’s a pleasant song, and like many of his peers, Rhett sounds so much better vocally when he’s not trying to outsing a noisy production or trying to keep rhythm with a lazy drum track.
