going to the country

Singer:bruce cockburn

look out the window

what do i see?

cows hangin' out under spreading trees

zoom! they're gone behind the sign

white letters pointing to the long white line

and i'm going to the country

o

la la la la la

i'm going to the country

sunshine smile on me

i can smell the grass growing in the field

wind in my hair tells me how it feels

farm house

silver roof flashing by

tractor-trailer truck says goodbye with a sigh

and i'm going to the country

o

la la la la la

i'm going to the country

sunshine smile on me

birds singing

i'm singing in my bones

doesn't much matter now where i'm going

get it when i get there is what i'll do

if i get enough i'll give some to you

and i'm going to the country

o

happy as can be

i'm going to the country

sunshine smile on me
