You can have your buildings
And your arithmetic
I don't need no crowded streets
Or city slicker tricksI just need to be some place
Where I can move around
Look down at my toes
And I can still see the groundGive me that country side of life
Where I can stretch out right
Give me the country side
(Give me the country side)Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country sideGoin' down to the fishing pond
Where I can throw the line
It don't matter what fish I catch
I only came to rest my mindThe only fish you'll get down town
Ain't caught with a hook and sinker
Put on your brakes, beep beep, honk your horn
Look out now turn on your blinkerGive me that country side of life
Where I can stretch out right
Give me the country side
(Give me the country side)Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country sideGive me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country sideI was born in Georgia Town
With a lack-a-daisy street
A laid back lover just a-playin' games
And a-stayin' off of them feetBut nobody trying to get on your nerves
Nobody tryin' to get what you've got
And just live and let live by the golden rule
Now don't it just hit the spotGive me that country side of life
Where I can stretch out right
Give me the country side
(Give me the country side)Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country sideGive me that country side of life
A place where I can stretch out right
Give me the country sideGive me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country side
