Eric Church

Songwriter: Dean Holloway Merle Haggard

Yeah I'm tired of this dirty old city
And tired of too much work
And never pay enough play
And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks
Think I'll walk off my steady job today

Turn me loose, set me free
Somewhere in the middle of Montana
Give me all I've got comin' to me
You can keep your retirement
And your so-called Social Security
Big city turn me loose and set me free

I've been workin' everyday since I was twenty
Haven't got a thing to show for all the things I've done
There's folks that never work and they've got plenty
Think it's time some guys like me had some fun

So turn me loose, set me free
Somewhere in the middle of Bozeman, Montana
And give me all I've got comin' to me
Yeah you can keep your retirement
And your so-called Social Security
Big city turn me loose and set me free

Yeah big city, turn me loose and set me free

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
