I'm gonna move back to the country, gonna live out in the woods
All the hustle and this bustle, it ain't doing me no good
This job feels like a prison, this cubicle's a cell
I can almost smell the sulfur, I swear this must be Hell
Gonna ditch this suit and tie, go buy some overalls
Go find myself a little town, without a shopping mall
Eat lunch at some diner, get an extra slice of pie
If I don't leave this city soon I swear I'm gonna die
I'll wash my clothes on Sunday, hang 'em outside on a line
If they smell like hay and honeysuckle, you know that I don't mind
I'm gonna get myself a dog, and a rusty pickup truck
One day I'll leave this city boys, without a backward look
I'm gonna move out to the country, gonna live out in the woods
I'm gonna get back to my raisin', and start living like I should.
Time to slow down and start breathing, put a smile back on my face
This old rat has had all he wants, of this old rat race.
