Neil Young

Country Home

I don't like to go down to flats
'cause i can't park on a hill
instead getting a rolling start
i have to pay the bill.

I guess i need that city life
it sure has lots of style
but pretty soon it wears me out
and i have to think to smile.
I'm thankful for my country home
it gives me peace of mind
somewhere i can walk alone
and leave myself behind.
It's only someone else's potatoes
you pickin' someone else's patch
and if you go down there anyway
it very seldom lasts.
I found that out once long ago
and it sure got me confused
i still don't know which way to go
to lose those old spud blues.
I'm thankful for my country home
it gives me peace of mind
somewhere i can walk alone
and leave myself behind.
