When the world in which you're living
Gets a bit too much to bear
And you need someone to lean on
When you look there's no one there

You're gonna find me out in the country, yeah
You're gonna find me way out in the country
Where the air is good, and the day is fine
And a pretty girl has her hand in mine
And the silver stream is the poor man's wine
In the country, in the country

If you're walkin' in the city
And you're feelin' rather small
And the people on the sidewalk
Seem to form a solid wall

You're gonna find me, hey, out in the country
You're gonna find me, hey, out in the country
Where the air is good and the day is fine
And a pretty girl has her hand in mine
And the silver stream is the poor man's wine
In the country, in the country

Hurry, hurry, hurry
For time is slipping by, you don't need a ticket
It belongs to you and I, come on and join me, hey
Out in the country

Where the air is good, and the day is fine
And the pretty girl has her hand in mine
And the silver stream is the poor man's wine
In the country, in the country
