You can have your buildings and your arithmatic

I don't need no crowded streets or city slicker tricks

I just need to be some place where I can move around

Look down at my toes and I can still see the ground



Give me that country side of life

Where I can stretch out right

Give me the country side

(Give me the country side)

Give me that country side of life

Where I don't get uptight

Give me the country side



Goin' down to the fishing pond where I can throw the line

It dont' matter what fish I catch I only came to rest my mind

The only fish you'll get down town ain't caught with a hook and sinker

Put on your brakes, beep beep, honk your horn look out now turn on your blinker



Give me that country side of life

Where I can stretch out right

Give me the country side

(Give me the country side)

Give me that country side of life

Where I don't get uptight

Give me the country side



Give me that country side of life

Where I don't get uptight

Give me the country side



I was born in Georgia town with a lack-a-daisy street

A laid back lover just a-playin' games and a-stayin' off of them feet

Nobody trying to get on your nerves, nobody tryin' to get what you've got

And just live and let live by the golden rule now don't it just hit the spot



Give me that country side of life

Where I can stretch out right

Give me the country side

(Give me the country side)

Give me that country side of life

Where I don't get uptight

Give me the country side



Give me that country side of life

Where I can stretch out right

Give me the country side

Give me that country side of life

Where I don't get uptight

Give me the country side
