(Al Kooper)

Spoken: House in the country take one

No need to worry

Folks in a hurry

leave them behind you

no one can find you

House in the country

House in the country

All the relaxin'

Will soon fill the cracks in

Good for your head too

If you are led to

House in the country

House in the country

Green surrounding

Love abounding

You won't find a manhole there

Yes, yes I need you

Come let me feed you

I've never tried to

Come let me hide you

House in the country

House in the country

I have never brought anybody there

Bring your own chair to sleep in

When we arrive, after the drive

Then you can shower, and talk for an hour

Then sleep in your chair

(Instrumental Interlude)

Sleep on the floor there

Don't ask for more there

Sun wakes you up too

Glad you came up to

House in the country

House in the country

La la la la la...etc

House in the country (x4)
