Country Side of Life

You can have your buildings and your arithmetic

I don't need no crowded streets

Or city slicker tricks

I just need to be someplace

Where I can move around

Look down at my toes

And I can still see the ground

Give 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

Goin' down to the fishing pond

Where I can throw in the line

It don't matter what fish I catch

I only came to rest my mind

The only fish you'll 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

Give 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

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 lack-a-daisy street

A laid back lover just a-playin' games

And a-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?

Give 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

Give me that country side of life

Where I can stretch 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
