Going To the Country

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
