Standard (EADGBE)

I don't like to go down to the flats

'Cos I can't park on a hill

Instead of 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

Chorus

I'm thankful for my country home

It gives me peace of mind

Somewhere I can walk alone

And leave myself behind

Intro

It's only someone else's potato tip

You're 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 oldsmouth(??) blues

Chorus
