Up Country Blues

[Verse 1]
Well, I’m going out the country, I got a place to live
I’m going out to the country and I got a place to live
I’m going out to the country and I got a place to live
I’ll get outta this city where I ain’t got a dime to give

[Verse 2]
I’m going out to the country and find myself a little spot
I’m going out to the country and find myself a little spot
I’m going out to the country and find myself a little spot
I’m gon' build a little shack and sit in the yard to rot

[Verse 3]
He was staring at the fire just dreaming about the day
He was staring at the fire just dreaming about the day
He was staring at the fire just dreaming about the day
When he’d get up from this city boys, and just walk away

[Verse 4]
But there was no one there to listen when he says "Boys..."
But there was no one there to listen when he says "Boys..."
There was no one there to listen when he says "Boys...
I’m gon' leave this city now and leave behind all this noise"

[Verse 5]
He was seventy then but looked to be about a hundred and ten
He was seventy then but looked to be about a hundred and ten
He was seventy then but looked to be about a hundred and ten
Sleepin' rough every night dreaming up country to the end
