I'm going out to the country where I got a place to live I'm going out to the country where I got a place to live I'm going out to the country where I got a place to live I'll get outta this city where I ain't had a dime to give I'm going out to the country and find myself a little spot I'm going out to the country and find myself a little spot I'm going out to the country and find myself a little spot I'm going out to build a little shack and sit in the yard and rock He was staring at the fire just dreaming about the day He was staring at the fire just dreaming about the day
He was staring at the fire just dreaming about the day When he'd get up from this city, boys, and just walk away But there was nobody was there to listen when he says "boys..." There was nobody was there to listen when he says "boys..." There was nobody was there to listen when he says "boys... I'm going out to the country and get away from all this noise" He was 70 then but looked to be about 110 He was 70 then but looked to be about 110 He was 70 then but looked to be about 110 Sleeping rough every night dreaming up country to the end
