(Steve Miller and Ben Sidran)

Gonna leave the city put my troubles behind

People in the city goin' out of their minds

Goin' to the country just to feel like gold

People in the country really let themselves go



Hey, ho, one thing I know

People in the country got one thing for sure

Hey, ho, one thing I know

Every mother's child really lets himself go



Goin' to the country and leavin' right away

No time to talk I got to make a getaway

Gonna leave the city it's a crime and a shame

People in the city are goin' insane



Hey, ho, one thing I know

Every mother's child really lets himself go

Hey, ho, one thing I know

People in the country really let themselves go



Joining hands

Making plans

Come on down

Look around
