Lyrics
Living in a country town, living where the air is clean
Life was oh so wond'rous to me
Walk along the creek alone, miles from any telephone
Things were always clearer to see
Now I'm in the city, feelin cold and gritty
From the smoggy atmosphere
I think I will return, to the place for which I yearn
I think I'm going to leave today
Life is so much cleaner, grass is so much greener
Back from where I have come from
People take the time, to know you by your name
You are more important than their time
Yes that's where I'm going, but the grass needs mowing
And I have to work today
Then I promised Lulu, I'd take her to the drive-in
To my word I must be true
Maybe by tomorrow, I'll leave my every sorrow
And head back where I do belong
I think I will return, to the place for which I yearn
I know I'd like to leave today
(Chorus)
Yes that's where I'm goin, but the grass needs mowin
And I have to work today
Maybe by tomorrow, I'll leave my every sorrow
I know I'd like to leave today, I know I'd like to leave today
I know I'd like to leave today
