City Vs. Country |
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 |
