"The City Put the Country Back in Me" is a song written by Mike Geiger, Woody Mullis and Michael Huffman, and recorded by American country music artist Neal McCoy.

The song reached number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and number 11 on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada.[1]
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song, calling it a "lightweight effort, a sassy brassy tale of a lad who finds the best of country life in a city honky-tonk."[2]
The music video was directed by Martin Kahan and premiered in late 1994. It was filmed in New York City and New Jersey and features a prominent display of the former World Trade Center Towers.
