I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go
I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go
Take you to some place I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
Gonna leave this city, got to get away
Gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay
Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know you've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say, but
We might even leave the USA
'Cause it's a brand new game that I just want to play
No use of you running
Or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home, man
And I've got mine
