Take me back to the country
Where the tall grass grows
Find a little peace and quiet
Hear that lonesome wind moan
I'm gonna get back
From the places I've gone
Take me back to the country
It's time to go home
It's been a year or maybe five
Since I watched the prairie disappear from sight
I packed it all up, not a tear I cried
It's been a year or maybe five
Never thought that I'd be the one to go
And trade my colours of green and gold
For the lakes and rivers, Ontario
Never thought that I'd be the one to go
So take me back to the country
Where the tall grass grows
Find a little peace and quiet
Hear that lonesome wind moan
I'm gonna get back
From the places I've gone
Take me back to the country
It's time to go home
Not a night passes or a day goes by
That I don't think of home and wonder why
I can't go back, I couldn't even try
Not a night passes or a day goes by
Take me back to the country
Where the tall grass grows
Find a little peace and quiet
Hear that lonesome wind moan
I'm gonna get back
From the places I've gone
Take me back to the country
It's time to go home
Take me back to the country
It's time to go home
