Big city you've always been a friend to me Boy we had fun But sometimes the good times turn to memory It's all been done So don't you tempt me to stay My future lies the opposite way Going back to the farm Never did anyone any harm I want to grow things up to the sky I want to grow wings and learn how to fly To all the no things I'm saying goodbye Feel like puttin' out roots again The season for planting love is here again It's filling me up And I got some solid soil in you my friend Won't waste a drop With someone who really loves me Living together by the shining sea Going into the water Makes your body feel just like it ought a I want to see life like it's meant to be seen I want the green life my colour is green And for the free life I'd give up where I've been Feel like putting out roots again Please forward my mail I've got to leave while the wind's in my sail.
