Martin Sexton - Goin To The Country lyrics

There's a warm wind blowin' over from the west again today With it comes that message sent from so far away Drags that longing feeling from my heart down to my sleeve Tells me that it's been too long and it's been time to leave So I bought a pickup truck with three shades of orange And two shades of rusted blue Went down to pick up my last paycheck from my boss And I told him what he could do I rode down to my mama said mama my time has come to ride She said boy don't let the screen door slam your a** on the way outside Now I'm goin' to the country for while Goin' where they speak in terms of country miles Goin' to the country was there something I should know before I go A sweet hitchhiker stopped me on this olden country road She hopped into my pickup in her cutoff jeans and she so kindly said hello Her blue eyes smiled as she said my destination is unknown She said she left her city standing only days ago Just to call the world her home And then she turned up my radio I said we're goin' to the country for while We're goin' where the gra** is green and the people always smile Goin' to the coutnry was there something I should know before I go Life was ordinary boring lame All my dreams held captive on that ratrace of a cage Sweet the sound surrender to my ears The winds of change have blown them all away Just for today I'm goin' to the country for a while I'm goin' where they speak in terms of corn and country miles Me and my baby we're goin' to the country Because the earth is getting deep fried country style Me and my baby we're goin to the country Packin' our bags ain't comin' home Now we're goin' to the country was there somethin' I should know Somethin' I should know
