Up Country

Well, I've had enough of armed robbery
Shooting people ain't my style
And I've gotten sick of high-class snobbery
I'm headed up country for a while

There's no good news in my mailbox
Just death, destruction and decay
You think you're right and there's another knock
Another cold and windy day

Well, I'm headed up country for a while
Where it's easier to smile
Where I can walk a country mile
And I'm headed up country for a while

I work all day to bring some money home
To try to keep my family fed
But prices rise and my wages don't
I'm either dying or I'm dead

Well, I'm headed up country for a while
Where it's easier to smile
Where I can walk a country mile
And I'm headed up country for a while

You can't walk the streets after eight o'clock
Without someone beating on your head
Your body can heal, but your mind cannot
So stay indoors all night instead

Well, I'm headed up country for a while
Where it's easier to smile
Where I can walk a country mile
And I'm headed up country for a while

Where I can walk a country mile
I'm headed up country for a while
I'm headed up country for a while
I'm headed up country for a while
