[Chorus 1]
Back to the country where I feel at home
Back to the country, I've been gone too long
Take me on back
Take me on back to the country

[Verse 1]
Buildings so high I can't see the sun
They're closing in on me
Car after car on this cold concrete
I need some dirt under my feet

[Chorus 2]
Back to the country where I feel at home
Back to the country, I've been gone too long
My body needs a break
My mind is a mess
God only knows, my soul needs a rest
Take me on back
Take me on back to the country

[Verse 2]
Get me away from these city lights
'Cause I feel out of place

I'll saddle up, you open the gate
Up on my horse to some wide open space
[Chorus 1]
Back to the country where I feel at home
Back to the country, I've been gone too long
Take me on back
Take me on back to the country

[Bridge]
Reality
I gotta face somehow
My hands are tied, so I'll just daydream for now

[Chorus 2]
Back to the country where I feel at home
Back to the country, I've been gone too long
My body needs a break
My mind is a mess
God only knows, my soul needs a rest
Take me on back
Take me on back to the country

[Outro]
Take me on back
Take me on back to the country
