You Can Leave The Country

Been fifteen long years

Since I bid it goodbye

Never shed any tears

Had no reason to cry

Met a cute city boy

Settled down for awhile

Found myself some real joy

And a reason to smile

But like a god-damn farm hand down on my luck

All I got now's my dog and a new pickup truck

Didn't count on leavin'

Thought I'd stay here for life

Had no causes for grievin'

Was a happy young wife

Till our plans hit a wall

That I just couldn't break

Now he's keeping it all

'Cept this heart he won't take

And like a god-damn farm hand down on my luck

All I got now's my dog and a new pickup truck

So I bought a guitar

Found a new place to rent

That'll get me as far

As I wish he'd get bent

And one day I may play

This sad little song

You can move miles away

But the country ain't gone

'Cause like a god-damn farm hand down on my luck

All I need is my dog and a new pickup truck <3
