Lyrics for Song: Take Me Back to the Country
Lyrics for Album: Triple Feature: Dolly Parton [Cube] [2009]
(Karen Staley)
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
To the country, oh, take me boy.
--- Instrumental ---
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...
