Im going back to the country
Im gonna sit a spell
I need a drink from the water

Of deeper well..well
I heard Jesus calling,
Through my momma's prayers

Im going back to the country
Gonna heal up there
Momma I'll be there


Chorus
Going back to the country

Going back to the country
I need to drink that water from a deeper well
Back to the country


Im gonna swim in that river
Where that preacher held me down

Gonna stay there
Till that feeling comes back around
Im gonna be there Sunday morning

Smell the sheets on the line
Wash down Grandma's cooking with
some homemade appleshine



Chorus

Going back to the country
Going back to the country
I need to drink that water from a deeper well

Back to the country

I got wounded dreams and a devils heart

Buzzards pickin at my bones
Im runnin on fumes
And the suns goin down

Saint Christopher get me home

Feed me right

Turn me around
Give me a place to lay my burdens down
Momma and Daddy been up all night

Just to hear the dogs barking when I come up the drive

Chorus

Going back to the country
Going back to the country
I need to drink that water from a deeper well

Back to the country

Going back to the country

Going back to the country
I need to drink that water from a deeper well
Back to the country

Back to the country
Going back to the country
Back to the country...
