Lyrics:

Country Side of Life / Wet Willie / Jimmy Hall

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

MuTron Trombone Solo

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
