I don`t like to go down to flats
`Cause I can`t park on a hill
Instead 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.
I`m thankful for my country home
It gives me peace of mind
Somewhere I can walk alone
And leave myself behind.
It`s only someone else`s potatoes
You 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 old spud blues.
I`m thankful for my country home
It gives me peace of mind
Somewhere I can walk alone
And leave myself behind.
