This song is essentially the essence of traveling around the country carelessly and with a group of friends. Nothing more than just a catchy tune about a road trip.
Going Up the Country Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm goin' up the country, baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm goin' up the country, baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm goin' to someplace where I've never been before
[Verse 2]
I'm goin', I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
[Flute Solo]
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna leave the city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave the city, got to get away
All this fussin' and fightin', man, you know I sure can't stay
[Bridge]
Now, baby, pack your leavin' trunk, you know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're goin' I cannot say, but
We might even leave the USA
'Cause there's a brand-new game I don't wanna play
[Flute Solo]
[Outro]
No use for you runnin' or screamin' and cryin'
'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine
[Reprise]
