Lyrics Take Me totThe Country - Mel McDaniel

Take Me totThe Country

Workin' nine to five just to stay alive
Livin' from day to day
And the TV dinners and the tonic
And gin is eatin' up all my pay
It’s a natural fact if you’re livin' like that
You won’t be livin' long
Takes a whole lotta lovin' from a whole lotta woman
To keep you satisfy and strong
Well, on the outskirts of town there’s a lady I’ve found
Knows how to treat me right
She’s gonna take me to the country tonight
She’s gonna take me to the country
She’s gonna take me to the country
Well there’s a woman I found on the outskirts of town
Knows how to treat me right
She’s gonna take me to the country tonight
Well, when the weekend comes and the work is done
I’m lookin' for a place to play
I leave the city streets for the trees
And creeks saddle up my Chesapeake Bay
With the moon above and a feelin' for love
We’re dancin' on a hardwood floor
It takes a whole lotta lovin' from a whole lotta woman
To keep me comin' back for more
Well, on the outskirts of town there’s a lady I’ve found
Knows how to treat me right
She’s gonna take me to the country tonight
She’s gonna take me to the country
She’s gonna take me to the country
