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.
