Cosmic Rough Riders - Country Life lyrics

A long, long time ago In green fields of our own We were free to wander We were free to roam Those tall, dark, leafy trees Our shelter from the breeze Are all gone in a paper chase Hung up with wallpaper paste Tell the farmer To keep the dogs at bay We were here a long time ago When the land was free to roam Now it's been stripped to the bone (Straight on) My first memory Of blue sky and cornfields A hornet's nest A floral dress Summer evenings were the best The last thing on my mind Was to leave it all behind Move out to a city life Necessity, if you don't mind This city is full of fakes This city is full of mistakes We're moving out to the country We're gonna find a place where the air is clean and free, yeah
