[Verse 1]
I left the quiet place where the dirt roads run
To find all the fortune in a city so tall
I chased the bright feeling beneath the strong sun
I knew that a challenge would happen to all
I learned how to move with a quicker true pace
I wore a new style and changed how I speak
But I see the old memory written in my face
A life in the country is what I still seek
[Pre-Chorus]
I stand right between the place I was made
And the new life I chose to go live for a while
I know that the choice must finally be played
I search for my own true and lasting style
[Chorus]
I am split right between the tall green trees
And the busy city streets that are always fast
My true self is built by a mix that is strong
I belong in a space that will finally hold
This life is a journey I must walk alone
A place where the best of my feelings are shown
[Verse 2]
The concrete demands that you stay fully alert
You cannot relax or let down your guard
Every day in the quick pace will quickly hurt
It makes your whole spirit feel terribly hard
I miss the fresh scent of the growing sweet hay
But I love the feeling of power that comes
This fast, rushing movement will not go away
The beat of the city is loud in my drums
[Bridge]
I have seen the good in both types of place
I know where the strength in my life must stay
The balance I seek must finally be clear
Where the new and the old can walk on the road
I accept the fact that I will always connect
The two distant mountains that stand very far
[Chorus]
I am split right between the tall green trees
And the busy city streets that are always fast
My true self is built by a mix that is strong
I belong in a space that will finally hold
This life is a journey I must walk alone
A place where the best of my feelings are shown
