Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - "Country Living," a track off
Cooper Boone's self-titled debut album, out August 4 on Green
Rooster Records, is a string-driven dose of country, and a cure for the bumper-to-bumper blues.

"I'm a country boy at heart; it's in my blood," explains Boone, who was raised on a farm in Wells, Minn., but has been living in New York City for many years. As the subject of Boone's first music video, abandoning screamin' horns and black smoke, for cold root beers, bluegrass, and fiddles galore, "Country Living" is an upbeat anthem that offers a road home for country boys and girls alike.
Country Living Lyrics (Dave Rivers/ Mark D. Conklin/ Cooper Boone, 2009)
Four lanes going down to one, five miles of screamin' horns
My daily dose of stop and go
Black smoke I'm breathin' in, looks like I'm late again
I'm getting nowhere really slow
It may look like I'm at a stop, but in my mind I pulled off
Three exits back, down a kinder kinda road
Where the people wave when I pass by, and you can almost touch the stars at night
That's what I'm missing.
Where friends and family stop and talk, and no ones worried about the clock
and something warm and sweet is always cookin', in the kitchen, that's country living.
Growin' up in my back yard, blue grass and Becker's farm
Fields of corn, twice as tall as me.
Two mugs of cold root beer, crankin' up that old John Deere, riding shotgun on my Daddy's knee.
I'm 20 years and miles away but it seems like only yesterday, cuz I moved on... but my heart could never leave.
I think I'll turn this car around,
Drive back to that sleepy little town
When my two feet hit the ground
this time they're gonna stay...
