Going To the Country Lyrics

Going to the country
Where the city cannot touch meNo sound of passing cars
No drunks from closing barsYou see the stars each night
Far from those city lights
And you fall asleep to the sound of peace and quietIn the city
My heart
Its fears contained
I want to set it free again
Out on some prairie windJack hammers in my brain
Are slowly driving me insane
So I'm going to the country
Oh I'm going to the countryIn the city
I get the feeling something isn't right
There's gunshots every night
Dead bodies beneath the street lightAnd there's no jobs that pay
So we can afford to get awayAnd go to the countryMmm going to the countryYes---- musical break----And in the country
I will think of you
And that city life we knew

Everyday the danger grew
And how you tried to care
But you got used to living scared
Wasting all your days
Amongst the fear of baseball crazeDeaf to the sound
Of another building falling downBlind to the black man's blood
Being covered up with mud
And the mississippi flood keeps on risingWell I'm going
Yes I'm going
Oh I'm going to the countryWell I'm going
Yes I'm going
Now I'm going
Oh I'm going
MmmGoing to the country
Going to the country
I'm going to the countryOh I'm going to the country
