The Country Life Lyrics - The Ghosts That Haunt Me - Crash Test Dummies

Darling I've been thinking this one through 

We've been fighting like cat and dog, now here's what we've go to do 

This life in the city is killing the love that we one knew 

We could be happy in the country 

We would spend so many lovely days 

We'd have chickens and cows and corn and whatever it is farmers raise 

At breakfast each morning we'd fry up our own hand-picked eggs 

We could be happy in the country 

So let's pack our bags up together 

And we'll be in the clear forever 

We'll just sit right back and watch while our crops grow 

While we listen to gals like Kitty Wells on country radio 

Weekends we'd two-step at some cowboy bar just down the road 

We could be happy in the country 

I know that the local folks will make us feel right at home 

We'll have homemade whiskey and ramble down country roads 

And I would learn to ride on the rodeo 

I'd have shiny boots and a cowboy hat so that nobody'd ever know 

That we'd once been city folks that owned sporty cars and fancy homes 

If we could just be in the country
