GOING UP THE COUNTRY

              D        
1. Gotta get goin', cause I can't stay here long, now,
               G                                   D
    cause I'm tired of the way, I've been dogged around.
                A                                     D
    Well, I've got to roam maybe find me a brand-new home.

         D                     \
    I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go?
         G                                          D

         A                                           D
    I'm goin' to some place where I've never been before.

2. I'm goin', I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine,
               G      \                          D

    you can jump in the water and stay drunk all the time.

                D        
    I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away,
               G                            D
    I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away.
              A                                                   D
    All this fussin' and fightin',  man,  you know I sure can't stay.
                                              

              D              \          \
3. Now Baby, packin' up the truck, you know I got to leave today,
           G                                  D
    just exacly where I'm goin' -  I can not say .
                    A                    
    But, we might even leave the US,
                                            D
    but in a brand-new game I don't wanna play.

                   G                           D
    No use of you runnin' , or screamin' and cryin'.
                   A                           D
    But you got a home, man, as long as I got mine.
