Jay - Modern Day Country Life (feat. Jon Statham) Lyrics

He's up at the break of day
Firing up the tractor, Off to bail that hay
Working the land like his daddy and grand daddy did
Then it's off to the office gonna ride that desk
Dealing with the business worlds ten best
Working to pay the bills, financially free
Fighting with who he is and who this world says to be

They call it progress, He calls it vain
Tearing up Gods land for one more man made thing
He's just trying to hold on to what he knows is right
But it ain't easy living This modern day country life

Yeah its a modern day country life

It all looks out of reach
Is that pot of gold just a figure of speech
He can't stand the business rat race and red tape
Trying to live a good life that most men hate
Do the kind of hard work most men can't
He's got a dream of family and flourishing fields
But in this crazy world it's a struggle making it real

They call it progress, He calls it vain
Tearing up Gods land for one more man made thing
He's just trying to hold on to what he knows is right
But it ain't easy living This modern day country life

Yeah its a modern day country life

Torn between what he loves and what he needs
Yeah he's got loved ones that he's gotta feed
Just finding that balance between
They call it progress he calls it a mess
To make it all work today is anyone's guess

They call it progress, He calls it vain
Tearing up Gods land for one more man made thing
He's just trying to hold on to what he knows is right
But it ain't easy living This modern day country life
Yeah its a modern day country life

Trying to make it all work

It's a modern day country life
