House in the Country Lyrics
He don't need no sedatives to ease his troubled mind
At work he is invariably unpleasant and unkind
Why should he care if he is hated in his home?
'Cause he's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
He's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
But he ain't got a home, oh no
And he's as wicked as he can be
'Cause he's got a house in the country
Where he likes to spend his weekend days
Oh yeah, oh yeah, well, all right
Well, he got his job when drunken daddy tumbled down the stairs
From that very day this boy is more than having his share
One of these days I'm gonna knock him off of his throne
'Cause he's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
He's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
And he's oh so smug, oh yeah
He's got everything he needs
'Cause he's got a house in the country
Where he likes to spend his weekend days
Oh yeah, oh yeah, well, all right
At work he is invariably unpleasant and unkind
Why should he care if he is hated in his home?
'Cause he's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
He's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
But he ain't got a home, oh no
And he's as wicked as he can be
'Cause he's got a house in the country
Where he likes to spend his weekend days
Oh yeah, oh yeah, well, all right
Well, he got his job when drunken daddy tumbled down the stairs
From that very day this boy is more than having his share
One of these days I'm gonna knock him off of his throne
'Cause he's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
He's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
And he's oh so smug, oh yeah
He's got everything he needs
'Cause he's got a house in the country
Where he likes to spend his weekend days
Oh yeah, oh yeah, well, all right
And he's oh so smug, oh yeah
He's got everything he needs
'Cause he's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
He's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
But he's socially dead, oh yeah
And it don't matter much to him
'Cause he's got a house in the country
Where he likes to spend his weekend days
Oh yeah, oh yeah, well, all right
House in the country
House in the country
House in the country
House in the country
House in the country
House in the country
He's got everything he needs
'Cause he's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
He's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
But he's socially dead, oh yeah
And it don't matter much to him
'Cause he's got a house in the country
Where he likes to spend his weekend days
Oh yeah, oh yeah, well, all right
House in the country
House in the country
House in the country
House in the country
House in the country
House in the country
