“I’ve been counting down the days to get this one out to y’all,” Thomas Rhett shared. “It’s one of my favorite songs I’ve written yet and honestly just feels full circle in so many ways… it’s about the crazy journey I’ve been on over the last decade and ultimately finding my way back home.”
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
