Northeast Northwest - Country Livin'

 

Escaped from the city
With my car and my clothes,
I swore off the whiskey
And the cold

Now i rise with the sun
Do what needs to be done
Then i head to the porch
For a smoke

Well, it?s all well and good
I ain?t doin? no harm,
I?m just searchin? for
Country livin?s charm.

Cigarrette in your lips
With your crimson dress on
You knew every word
To every song

Singin? ?say you won?t leave me,
I won't do you wrong?
I know it ain?t easy
Life is long

Then curl me up
Inside your arms
And we'll go searching for country livin?s charms

And i know it ain't easy
Your daddy won't be happy
He had other ideas
But the one thing i know
Is you do what you must
With whoever you trust
And if you gotta go, you gotta go

So say you won?t leave me,
I won?t do you wrong,
I know it ain?t easy
Life is long

I?ll curl you up
Inside my arms,
And we?ll go searching
For country livin?s charms
