My Country Home

I don't like to go down to flats

'Cause I can't park on a hill

Instead getting a rolling start

I have to pay the bill.

I guess I need that city life

It sure has lots of style

But pretty soon it wears me out

And I have to think to smile.

[01:20.39]I'm thankful for my country home

[01:24.12]It gives me peace of mind

[01:28.25]Somewhere I can walk alone

[01:32.08]And leave myself behind.

It's only someone else's potatoes

You pickin' someone else's patch

And if you go down there anyway

It very seldom lasts.

I found that out once long ago

And it sure got me confused

I still don't know which way to go

To lose those old spud blues.

I'm thankful for my country home

It gives me peace of mind

Somewhere I can walk alone

And leave myself behind.

I'm thankful for my country home

It gives me peace of mind

Somewhere I can walk alone

And leave myself behind.

[04:58.94]I'm thankful for my country home

[05:02.86]It gives me peace of mind

[05:06.81]Somewhere I can walk alone

[05:10.69]And leave myself behind.
