"Country Life" lyrics

"Country Life"

Pickin' my guitar by the candlelight
Generator shuts off every night at nine

Got a bloodhound bayin' in the background
Barkin' at the moon

It's thirty below and the wind is blowin'
Step outside and damn, is it snowin'

Thinkin' inside that spring couldn't come too soon

Yesterday, we had a jumpstart
The old Caterpillar ran out of diesel
Man, we had to refill her

Bustin' out some days
So that we can get out of that drive

We're wakin' up at six and crashin' out at nine
Workin' all day 'cause you can't get behind

That's the country life
And man, do we like it like that

You can take that city life
And you can keep it

We like a gravel road
And that big old rusty truck

Got a six-pack of beer
I call it Copenhagen

Gonna drive these hills
'Til we get stuck

Come on

Well, the cows just broke the jacklink by the creek
Gotta go down there, man, to get a quick fix

Daddy's yellin' somethin' from the porch
And it can't be good

Said it broke the U-joint in the old farm truck
Gotta go underneath now
And crawl through the mud

Gotta have her ready by five
So we can get wood

You can take that city life
And you can keep it

We like a gravel road
And that big old rusty truck

Got a six-pack of beer
I call it Copenhagen

Gonna drive these hills
'Til we get stuck

Oh, saw that too, man

You can take that city life
And you can keep it

We like a gravel road
And that big old rusty truck

Got a six-pack of beer
I call it Copenhagen

We're gonna drive these hills
'Til we get stuck

Gonna drive these hills
'Til we get stuck

We ain't stuck yet

Keep on drivin'

That old country life
