Dolly Parton — Take Me Back to the Country

Well this big city life is getting me down There's just too many people around There's dirt in the air and crime in the street Highrise buildings and cold concrete This rat race sure enough takes a toll I wanna run off to my fishing 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 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 making me mad I miss the simple life I had Peace and quiet running 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 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, boys! 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 Take me back to the country
