Well this big city life is gettin' me down

There's just too many people around

There's dirt in the air and crime in the street

High-rise buildings and cold concrete

This rat race sure enough takes a toll

I wanna run off to my fishin' hole

Take me back take me back

Take me back to the country

Take me back take me back

Take me back to the country

Chorus:



Where the stars at night

Outshine those city lights

Take me back to the country

Where the eagles fly

And the treetops touch the sky

Take me back to the country



This traffic jam is makin' me mad

I miss the simple life i had

Peace and quite runnin' free

I wanna go home to my family

I'm sick of the clock, sick of the phone

Out in the country my time's my own

Take me back take me back

Take me back to the country

Take me back take me back

Take me back to the country



Chorus:



Where the stars at night

Outshine those city lights

Take me back to the country

Where the eagles fly

And the treetops touch the sky

Take me back to the country



Where the stars at night

Outshine those city lights

Take me back to the country

Where the eagles fly

And the treetops touch the sky

Take me back to the country

Take me back to the country
