Country Music/Old Country

Question
Dr. Allen
I am looking for the artist that sang the song "Old Country"
I believe was from the 90's and is about a city girl and a
country man. For the life of me I cannot remember any of the
lyrics but I hear the band and sounds like an orchestra.
Sorry, I just cant come up with anything else but really want to buy the CD, as I played the song so much the tape broke.
Thanks

Answer
Mark Chesnutt  from his "Longnecks and Short Stories" 1992 album

City sun goes down at night
Making way for neon lights
Country boy is lookin at the moon
City girl is dressed just right
She may stay out late tonight
Country boy just plowed today ‘til noon

From Birmingham to Ohio
How they met nobody knows
Every now and then they get together
She used to want to climb the walls
She’d never been loved at all
Not until old country came to town

He’s the first one to the room
Ice and drinks will be up soon
Everything is perfect when she walks in
They kiss and hold each other tight
They know what’s in store tonight
This ain’t some place they have never been

From Birmingham to Ohio
How they met nobody knows
Every now and then they get together
She used to want to climb the walls
She’d never been loved at all
Not until old country came to to

Expertise

I am a long time fan of Bluegrass and older country/folk music (20-70's) and have a fairly extensive tape and sheet music library of the same and have played the music non-professionally for many years. I can (hopefully) assist with information about artists and lyrics. Please try to make it the older stuff, I don't listen to much "modern" country except George Strait anymore....it ain't got no soul anymore :)

Experience

I grew up in the 60's listening to all the old greats and learned to play the music. I have spent a lot of time reading about the genres and have gotten a chance to meet several of the big names over the years.
