| I want to live close to downtown to be near my friends |
| I want to be close to them |
| And still be out by the trees and the wind |
| Havin' both will be hard to find I’m sure |
| But then ain’t that the way of the world |
| I want the city but I want the country too |
| I want to be with my friends by the fire and the starlight |
| But I want music, music in my life |
| Yes, I want a bar hoppin' music scene |
| And I want to pick from ten or fifteen |
| I want the city but I want the country too |
| My mind is quiet, when my thoughts are slow |
| I stop to learn what I been wantin' to know |
| I need to live in the ancient world |
| If I’m gonna do what I want to do |
| I want the city but I want the country too |
| I’ll never have both moon and sun |
| But one never knows, does one? |
| I want the city but I want the country too |
