Going To the Country

Going to the country Where the city cannot touch me No sound of passing cars No drunks from closing bars You see the stars each night Far from those city lights And you fall asleep to the sound of peace and quiet In the city My heart Its fears contained I want to set it free again Out on some prairie wind Jack hammers in my brain Are slowly driving me insane So I'm going to the country Oh I'm going to the country In the city I get the feeling something isn't right There's gunshots every night Dead bodies beneath the street light And there's no jobs that pay So we can afford to get away And go to the country Going to the country Yes And in the country I will think of you And that city life we knew Everyday the danger grew And how you tried to care But you got used to living scared Wasting all your days Amongst the fear of baseball craze Deaf to the sound Of another building falling down Blind to the black man's blood Being covered up with mud And the mississippi flood keeps on rising Well I'm going Yes I'm going Oh I'm going to the country Well I'm going Yes I'm going Now I'm going Oh I'm going Going to the country Going to the country I'm going to the country Oh I'm going to the country
