Country Life by Tim Staffell Lyrics

Livin’ in the city
Workin’ for the man
He’s got me all tied down
Sure is somethin’ missin’
And I pack my bags, I’m movin’ out
I’m leavin’ town

Country life, I got to have a taste of you
Though it means I stop what I’m committed to
After all, you and me we’re just passin’ thru’
Headin’ down the line, leavin’ it behind
Wake up in the mornin’, what do you think I find?

Let me tell you people
If I keep on workin’ I’m gonna go out of my mind
Extra day, extra pay (well that’s okay)
You know man, I’m just not that way inclined

Country life, I got to have a taste of you
Though it means I stop what I’m committed to
After all, you and me we’re just passin’ thru’
Who can set me free? What’s this mystery?
You just sit there smilin’, sayin’: “What will be, will be”
Brother, can you feel it?
I haven’t seen the sky since back in ‘69
Any way you look at it
Livin’ in the city gives you city mind

Country life, I got to have a taste of you
Though it means I stop what I’m committed to
After all, you and me we’re just passin’ thru’
Got to get away, I can’t take another day
I got to try to stop myself from meltin’ clean away
