From the album "Bruce Cockburn")



Look out the window, what do I see?

cows hangin' out under spreading trees.

ZOOM! they're gone behind the sign

white letters pointing to the long white line

and I'm going to the country

o, la la la la la

I'm going to the country

sunshine smile on me



I can smell the grass growing in the field

wind in my hair tells me how it feels

farm house, silver roof flashing by

tractor-trailer truck says goodbye with a sigh

and I'm going to the country

o, la la la la la

I'm going to the country

sunshine smile on me



birds singing, I'm singing in my bones

doesn't much matter now where I'm going

get it when I get there is what I'll do

if I get enough I'll give some to you

and I'm going to the country

o, happy as can be

I'm going to the country

sunshine smile on me
