Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm going up the country, babe, don't you wanna go?
I'm going up the country, babe, don't you wanna go?
Take you to someplace I've never been before
[Verse 2]
I'm goin', I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
[Verse 3]
Gonna leave this city, got to get away
Gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussin' and fightin', man, you know I sure can't stay
[Verse 4]
Now, baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know you got to leave today
And just exactly where we're goin', I can't say, but
We might even leave the USA
'Cause it's a brand new game that I just want to play
[Verse 5]
And no use in me runnin'
Or screamin' and cryin'
'Cause you've got a home, man
And I've got mine
[Verse 6]
I'm going up the country, babe, don't you wanna go?
I'm going up the country, babe, don't you wanna go?
Take you to someplace I've never been before
[Verse 7]
I'm goin', I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
[Verse 8]
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
Oh, leave this city, got to get away
All this fussin' and fightin', I know I sure can't stay
[Verse 9]
You better pack your leaving trunk, you know you got to leave today
And just exactly where we're goin', I can't say, but
We might even leave the USA
'Cause it's a brand new game that I just want to play
[Verse 10]
And no use in me runnin'
Or screamin' and cryin'
'Cause you've got a home, man
And I've got mine
