The Country Life
CHORDS: G,C, D  G,C, D  
G,C,G,C  
[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 ***
