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 the line It don't' 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
