Country John

Lyrics

Country John lives his life Mostly working at the mill And other than his wife A single dream is his only thrill Gotta get away, gotta see the land Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man Gotta get away, gotta see the land Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man In the evening when the sun begins to fade And work is over, and supper is too A shabby guitar case comes out from underneath the bed And Country John will do his dues, say now [?] Between the moonshine and the shining of the moon And his sway back a woman by his side And he would soon find that the lining of his tomb From way back was too hard to divide, say now (Gotta get away, gotta see the land) Leaving (Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man) In the morning (Gotta get away, gotta see the land) Leaving (Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man) Got your woman (Gotta get away, gotta see the land) So much (Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man) I have taken (Gotta get away, gotta see the land) So much (Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man) Is forsaken Gotta get away, gotta see the land Gotta see the world, gotta be a man Gotta get away, gotta see the land Gotta see the world, gotta be a man All the others and the young folk too Rock with John while he did his dues The moonshine and the shadows through the pine They all rocked with John too (Gotta get away, gotta see the land) So much (Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man) As I'm leavin' (Gotta get away, gotta see the land) So much (Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man) I am leavin' (Gotta get away, gotta see the land) So much (Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man) I have taken (Gotta get away, gotta see the land) So much (Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man) Is forsaken (Gotta get away, gotta see the land) Leaving (Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man) In the morning (Gotta get away, gotta see the land) Leaving (Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man) Got your woman (Gotta get away, gotta see the land) Too much (Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man) I have taken (Gotta get away, gotta see the land) Too much (Gotta see the world, gotta be a man, man) Is forsaken
