You can have your buildings and your heavy arithmetic 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
Gimme 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 my line It dont' matter what fish I catch I only want to rest my mind The only fish you get downtown ain't caught with a hook and sinker Put on your brakes, beep beep, honk your horn, look out now, turn on your blinker
Gimme 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 natural lazy streak A laid back lover just playin' games and 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
Gimme 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
Gimme me that country side of life Where I can step 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
