Country Side Of Life

You can have your buildings

And your arithmatic

I don't need no crowded streets

Or city slicker tricks

I just need to be some place

Where I can move around

Look down at my toes

And I can still see the ground.

Give 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 side.

Goin' down to the fishing pond

Where I can throw in the line

It dont' matter what fish I catch

I only came to rest my mind

The 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 blinker.

Give 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 side.

Give me that country side of life

Where I don't get uptight

Give me the country side...

I 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 feet

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 spot

Give 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 side

Give me that country side of life

Where I can stretch out right

Give me the country side

Give me that country side of life

Where I don't get uptight

Give me the country side...
