Lyrics
Seemed like a good idea to make a buck or two
put that degree to use, maybe drive a BMW
Jesse left his roots and family, who knew when he’d be back?
The concrete jungle had him a matter of time before he cracked
You’d better lose that accent, cut that bushy hair
pretend you went to Harvard and push ten thousand shares
It’s kill or be killed here, boy, I thought southern nerds could hunt
make us millions, Jesse, or be the office grunt, or be the office grunt
He’s an office cowboy, fish out of water
a walking contradiction thrown to the city slaughter
Just kept on smiling, though, can’t beat a country boy down
knowing that one day soon, he’d be back in his hometown
Got a three-day weekend coming up, gonna leave the office behind
no suits or ties to pack, don’t need them down south to look fine
The boss man’s in the Hamptons to marry his fifth wife
and Jesse’s counting down the minutes till he’s away from this Wall Street life
Ignoring the constant emails, deleting a hundred texts
he’s simple living this weekend, nothing too complex
It’s almost game time, baby, tailgating like he used to do
his mind is free and easy, only question is one whiskey or two
He’s an office cowboy, fish out of water
a walking contradiction thrown to the city slaughter
Just kept on smiling, though, can’t beat a country boy down
knowing that one day soon, he’d be back in his hometown
Can’t be happy if you lose your passion
money won’t help, you’ll just forget who you are
Never forget who and what really matters
stick to your gut and pick up your guitar
Pick up your guitar
Boss man’s getting angry, Jesse called out sick
three days was way too short when fishing with his ugly stick
You’re fired if you don’t get back here, this is your last chance
Jesse said thanks but no thanks, cracked a beer and started to dance
He’ll work for his old man, maybe coach high school ball
no need to plan too much, ain’t got no worries at all
Toss those shirts and tides out, replace those loafers with boots
Jesse’s back where he belongs, he came back to his roots
He was an office cowboy, now back fishing on the water
no more contradiction, lock up your pretty daughters
Still got that smile, oh no, can’t beat a country boy down
the day’s finally come, he’s back in his hometown
He was an office cowboy, now back fishing on the water
no more contradiction, lock up your pretty daughters
Still got that smile, oh no, can’t beat a country boy down
the day’s finally come, he’s back in his hometown
Yeah, he’s back in his hometown
