Australia, a guitar on his shoulder
He had songs in his suitcase,
When he got no attention,
Changed his style and his
looks to imitate the stars
One moment in the spotlight
and it was all over quick
He almost lost his soul there, down on
You gotta get back to the country,
You know that's where your heart is,
You gotta sing what you know,
don't pretend to be no one else
That'll get you way further
All the young hopefuls ride
If you wanna make an impression,
you gotta do it in thirty seconds
And you better know my space
ain't talkin' about a room
No one cares what you've got
unless you can sell the lot
L .A. can blow some dreams apart
You gotta get back to the country,
You know that's where your heart is,
You gotta sing what you know,
don't pretend to be no one else
That'll get you way further
Austin, slowly won a following
Then one day a song of his
flew high into the charts
And he offered his confession to
You gotta make a few mistakes,
You gotta get back to the country,
You know that's where your heart is,
You gotta sing what you know, boy,
don't pretend to be no one else
That'll get you way further
They'll get you way further
