I'm movin' to the country A log cabin by a mountain stream Where I can think and write and sleep at night And breathe air that's fresh and clean And I can raise a family Like they did in my mother's time While there's still a little time Yes, I've lived for years in the city Workin' jobs both day and night But every Saturday, I'd try to get away I'd drive through the quiet of the countryside Where barns and old farmhouses Have long been a love of mine So while there's still a little time I'm movin' to the country I'm gonna have reunions And family gatherings And lots of little children that love one another And I'm lookin' for peace on earth And you can take it for what it's worth 'Cause I'm packin' it up and movin' to the country Yes, I'm gonna live out where the world stands still Through the forests and 'cross the field Where people refuse to lock their doors (If we could live like that once more) Now wouldn't the world be a better place If we could save a little space before she fades away? And we could move to the country And be one big reunion And have family gatherings And lots of little children that love one another And I wish I had peace on this earth And you can take it for what it's worth 'Cause I'm packin' it up and movin' to the country Yes, I'm packin' it up and movin' to the country
