lyrics

I'm going up the country, baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going to some place where I've never been before.

I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water and stay drunk all the time.

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I just can't stay.

So baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave today,
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say, but
We might even leave the USA,
'Cause there's a brand new game that I just want to play.

No use in you running, or screaming and crying,
'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I just can't stay

I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water and stay drunk all the time

No use in you running, or screaming and crying,
'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine
