It’s So Peaceful in the Country

It's so peaceful in the country
It's so simple and quiet
You really ought to try it
You walk about
And you talk about
The things that you love in life

It's so peaceful in the country
It's the right kind of diet
You really ought to try it
You fall asleep
Beside a creek
As daisies nod hello

City living is a pretty living
It's so full of unexpected tunes
But there's too much stone
There's too much telephone
There's too much of everything but trees and green

It's so restful in the country
It's so simple and quiet
You really ought to try it
It's the place for you and me
It's the place where we should be
It's so peaceful in the country

The skyline of New York is a splendid sight
I know Chicago's loop is magical at night
The natives of Cleveland
Of Frisco and Boston
The natives of cities that people get lost in
All of them claim that their city's the best
From deep in the south to out in the west
Perhaps its all true
But from my point of view

[Instrumental]

It's so peaceful in the country
It's so simple and quiet
You really ought to try it
Its the place for you and me
It's the place where we should be
