Wanted to be where you were
New to the town, this little country girl
Packed her bags

She up and went
So she could be where her heart lived
She ain't know no better

Thought that it would last forever
But she ended up getting hurt
Regretted leaving home

Wished that she had known
As soon as she got there
He would be long gone

But she said
It's too late to turn back no
I don't wanna go home now

But this city love
Goes way too fast for me
So baby can you slow it down

Please pump the brakes, don't speed
I've got miles and miles of love
Ain't no need to try or rush

We gon' get there just the same
Why don't we map out the way?
Living in this city love

This city love, city love
Too fast for the country
Ohhh la la la la la la

Too fast for the country
Ohhh la la la la la la
Convinced herself not to cry

It's not her fault they don't see eye to eye
She can't turn back
Plus they all think

She should've stayed home
From the beginning
She's gonna' prove 'em wrong

Even if it take her too long
To find herself a new love
Far away from home

Wished that she had known
The moment she got there
He would be long gone

But she said
It's too late to turn back no
I don't wanna go home now

But this city love
Goes way too fast for me
So baby can you slow it down

Please pump the brakes, don't speed
I've got miles and miles of love
Ain't no need to try or rush

We gon' get there just the same
Why don't we map out the way?
Living in this city love

This city love, city love
Too fast for the country
She didn't know what to do

She had nothing left to lose
She was lost, so confused
Out of her element, so heartbroken

Decided to let it go
Knowing she could turn to nowhere else to go
Nowhere to pull through

Nothing to hold to
Where else could she be
What else could she do?

She said
It's too late to turn back no
I don't wanna go home now

But this city love
Goes way too fast for me
So baby won't you slow it down

Please pump the brakes, don't speed
I've got miles and miles of love
Ain't no need to try or rush

We gon get there just the same
Why don't we map out the way?
Living in this city love
This city love, city love
Too fast for the country

Ohhh la la la la la la
Too fast for the country
Ohhh la la la la la la
I've got miles and miles of love
Ain't no need to try or rush we gon get there just the same

Why don't we map out the way?
You ain't in the city love
This city love, city love
Too fast for the country
