All this big city rat rage
Man its really got me down
And I'm having trouble breathing
In this hustle bustle town
I've had enough
I'll back my stuff
And give my mom a call
Let her know I'm headed home
Can't wait to see ‘em all

Chorus:
Well, Im going back (back)
Back to the country (to the country)
Back to a simpler place in time
Im going back (back)
Back to the country (to the country)
Yeah back to my homegrown way of life

Well I miss my Mama's cookin'
And my daddy's homemade wine
Country girl in cut off shorts
Sure could ease my mind
Well I miss knowin' my neighbors
And where did they come from
I swear I'm gonna get there
Even if I have to run

Chorus:
Im going back (back)
Back to the country (to the country)
Back to a simpler place in time
Im going back (back)
Back to the country (to the country)
Yeah back to my homegrown way of life

I miss church on Sundays
And those lazy summer days
I ain't waitin' any longer
I've got to get away

Chorus:
Im going back (back)
Back to the country (to the country)
Back to a simpler place in time
Im going back (back)
Back to the country (to the country)
Yeah back to my homegrown way of life
Yeah back to my homegrown way of life
Yeah back to my homegrown way of life
yeahh
