Well this big city life is gettin' me down
There's just too many people around
There's dirt in the air and crime in the street

High-rise buildings and cold concrete
This rat race sure enough takes a toll
I wanna run off to my fishin' hole

Take me back take me back
Take me back to the country
Take me back take me back

Take me back to the country

Where the stars at night

Outshine those city lights
Take me back to the country
Where the eagles fly

And the treetops touch the sky
Take me back to the country


This traffic jam is makin' me mad
I miss the simple life I had
Peace and quite runnin' free

I wanna go home to my family
I'm sick of the clock, sick of the phone
Out in the country my time's my own

Take me back take me back
Take me back to the country
Take me back take me back

Take me back to the country

Where the stars at night

Outshine those city lights
Take me back to the country
Where the eagles fly

And the treetops touch the sky
Take me back to the country


Where the stars at night
Outshine those city lights
Take me back to the country

Where the eagles fly
And the treetops touch the sky
Take me back to the country

Take me back to the country
