Out In The Country

Some people like the cities dim
But I'm not that kind of guy
And maybe I'm not very in
But I still like to look at the sky
I want to see some stars
That aren't on a movie screen
And grass that's green
A rippling stream
The good life that money can't buy

So I'm moving out in the country
Where everything is fresh and clean
Out in the country
Where people say just what they mean
And they don't care much about building bank accounts
It's what you are, not what you own that counts
Out in the country
That's where I gotta be

It seems like only yesterday
When I came to this here town
I hustled every night and day
Till I knew everybody around
Well I made it big
There was nothing that I couldn't buy
Except a friend
Who in the end
Really cared if I lived or I died

So I'm moving out in the country
Where everything is fresh and clean
Out in the country
Where people say just what they mean
And if the folks I left behind find it in their hearts to take me back
I'll make a brand new start

Way out in the country
Out in the country
That's where I gotta be
That's where I gotta be
Way out in the country
That's where I gotta be
That's where I gotta be
