Back to the Country Lyrics

Apple blossoms in the air, rabbit hunters everywhere
It's back to the country life for me
Blue skies and butterflies, I smell Mama's apple pies
It's back to the country life for me

Well, I'm not meant for city life, I'd never make the city wife
I've got a yearnin' for milkin' cows, bakin' bread, and sloppin' souse
Flies a-buzzin' everywhere, bailin' hay or rockin' chair
Supper's on, I'm almost there, it's back to the country life for me

Shady lanes and lima beans, skinny-dippin' in the stream
It's back to the country life for me
I'm gonna find me a country boy, we'll raise kids, ten or more
It's back to the country life for me

Well, I'm not meant for city life, I'd never make the city wife
I've got a yearnin' for milkin' cows, bakin' bread, and sloppin' souse
Flies a-buzzin' everywhere, bailin' hay or rockin' chair
Supper's on, I'm almost there, it's back to the country life for me

It's back to the country life for me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
