[F]Darling I've been [F]thinking this one [F]through

We've been [F]fighting like [F]cat and dog now [F]here's what 
go to do

This [F]life in the [F]city is [F]killing the 
that we once [F]knew

We could [F]ha[F]ppy in the [F]coun[F]try

We would spend so many lovely days

We'd have chickens and cow and corn and whatever it is farmers raise

At breakfast each morning we'd fry up our own hand-picked eggs

We could be happy in the country

CHORUS ***

[F]So let's pack your bags up tog[F]ether

[F]And we'll be in the clear for[F]ever [F]

We'll just sit right back and watch while our crops grow

While we listen to gals like Kitty Wells on country radio

Weekends we'd two-step at some cowboy bar just down the road

We could be happy in the country

BACK TO CHOURS ***

[F]I know that the local folks will [F]make us feel right at [F]home

We'll have [F]homemade whiskey and [F]ramble down country [F]roads

And I would learn to ride on the rodeo

I'd have shiny boots and a cowboy hat so that nobedy'd ever know

That we'd once been city folks that owned sporty cars and fancy homes

If we could just be in the county

BACK TO CHORUS ***
