Lyrics: Alan Wilson/Henry Thomas
Music: Alan Wilson/Henry Thomas
A Canned Heat played by the David Nelson Band.
Well I'm going up the country, babe, don't you want to go
I'm going up the country, babe, don't you want to go
I'm going to some place where we've never been before
I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay
Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say
We might even leave the USA
'Cause there's a brand new game that I want to play
Well I'm going up the country (going up the country)
Going up the country (going up the country)
Going up the country (going up the country)
Going up the country (going up the country)
Going up the country (going up the country)
Going up the country, baby don't you want to go
