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
