Country Side Of Life

You can have your buildings and your heavy 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
 Gimme that country side of life
 Which way I can stretch out right
 Gimme the countryside ooh lord
 That country side of life
 Which way I don't get uptight
 Gimme the countryside
 I'm going down to the fishing pond where I can throw my line
 It don't matter what fish I catch I only wanna rest my mind
 The only fish you 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
 Gimme that country side of life
 Which way I can stretch out right
 Gimme the countryside oh
 That country side of life
 Which way I don't get uptight
 Gimme the countryside
 I was born in a Georgia town with a natural lazy streak
 Laid back lovers just playing their games and staying off their feet
 Nobody trying to get on your nerves or trying to get what you got
 Live and let live by the golden rule now don't it just hit the spot
 Gimme that country side of life
 Which way I can stretch out right
 Gimme the countryside ooh lord
 That country side of life
 Which way I don't get uptight
 Gimme the countryside
 Gimme that country side of life
 Which way I can stretch out right
 Gimme the countryside ooh lord
 That country side of life
 Which way I don't get uptight
 Gimme the countryside
