Martin Sexton Goin' To The Country
There’s a warm wind blowin over from the west again
today
With it comes that message sent from so far away
Drags that longing feeling from my heart down to my
sleeve
Tells me that it’s been too long and it’s been time to
leave
So I bought a pickup truck with three shades of orange
And two shades of rusted blue
Went down to pick up my last paycheck from my boss
And I told him what he could do
I rode down to my mama said mama my time has come to
ride
She said boy don’t let the screen door slam your ass on
the way outside
Now I’m goin to the country for while
Goin where they speak in terms of country miles
Goin to the country was there something I should know
before I go
A sweet hitchhiker stopped me on this olden county road
She hopped into my pickup in her cutoff jeans and she
so kindly said hello
Her blue eyes smiled as she said my destination is
unknown
She said she left her city standing only days ago
just to call the world her home
And then she turned up my radio
I said we’re goin to the county for while
We’re goin where the grass is green and the people
always smile
Goin to the country was there something I should know
before I go
Life was ordinary boring lame
All my dreams held captive on that ratrace of a cage
Sweet the sound surrender to my ears
The winds of change have blown them all away
just for today
I’m goin to the country for while
I’m goin where the speak in terms of corn and country
miles
Me and my baby we’re goin to the country
We’re packin our bags
Never comin home
We aint stayin here
Me and my baby we’re goin to the country
Because the earth is getting deep fried country style
Me and my baby we’re goin to the country
Packin our bags aint comin home
Now we’re goin to the country was there something I
should know
Somethin I should know
