Amy Hindman ~ July 1996
Now I don’t know about this work thing, I just wanna sing
I mean, this is what I love to do, sing whether I’m happy or blue
Gotta get back on track I want my life back
Hyperactive energy of the city weighin’ down on me
Meter maid keeps on ticketin’ me,
wanna park my car wherever I be
Meter maid quit hasselin’ me
CHORUS: Just take me back to the country
In the country I’m breathin’ free, slowin’ down bein’ me
And yes I know it appears to be that this is a song about the city
But it’s really about all the parts of me: city and country inside of me
Within me lies peace and serenity, the country
Conflict is only in the mind that’s not free: it’s not the city
And I’ve received the blessings too,
knowin’ the joy of bein’ with you
Rockin’ on the water as the sky turns blue,
discoverin’ what we love to do
Finding our way, creating each day,
vocation must be for me – a passion play
Now some they work for their monthly pay,
just enough to get by from day to day
Soul suffocating in an endless way,
as the clock ticks by dreams decay
I wanna live in a meaningful way,
revealin’ my soul through work and play
Feelin’ the wonder of each new day,
touching each other in a loving way
For we are so much more than the small lives we bargain for
When you wish upon a star, you’ll discover who you really are
When you wish upon a star
Now I don’t know about this work thing, I just wanna sing
I mean, this is what I love to do, sing whether I’m happy or blue
Gotta get back on track I want my life back
Hyperactive energy of the city weighin’ down on me
Meter maid keeps on ticketin’ me,
wanna park my car wherever I be
Meter maid quit hasselin’ me
CHORUS: Just take me back to the country
In the country I’m breathin’ free, slowin’ down bein’ me
And yes I know it appears to be that this is a song about the city
But it’s really about all the parts of me: city and country inside of me
Within me lies peace and serenity, the country
Conflict is only in the mind that’s not free: it’s not the city
And I’ve received the blessings too,
knowin’ the joy of bein’ with you
Rockin’ on the water as the sky turns blue,
discoverin’ what we love to do

vocation must be for me – a passion play
Now some they work for their monthly pay,
just enough to get by from day to day
Soul suffocating in an endless way,
as the clock ticks by dreams decay
I wanna live in a meaningful way,
revealin’ my soul through work and play
Feelin’ the wonder of each new day,
