Country, think I'll go back to the country
Think I'll pack up all my cares and woes
And this world I know
For the country
Country, I'm just a throwback to the country
All those childhood days have long since gone
But the love hangs on
For the country
People say I must be crazy
Simply giving up, I'm lazy
They say I'll get no satisfaction
When I'm so far from the action
I say life goes on
And it'll soon be gone
But in the country, it'll still be slower in the country
And all those things we never done before
Will mean so much more
In the country
People say I'm just a dreamer
Distant hills are always greener
They say the world is going faster
This life I'm going after
It'll all be changed
It won't seem the same
But in the country, it'll still be slower in the country
And all those things we come to know before
Will mean so much more
In the country
