Workin' nine to five just to stay alive livin' from day to day
And the TV dinners and the tonic and gin is eatin' up all my pay
It's a natural fact if you're livin' like that you won't be livin' long
Takes a whole lotta lovin' from a whole lotta woman to keep you satisfy and strong
Well on the outskirts of town there's a lady I've found
Knows how to treat me right
She's gonna take me to the country tonight

She's gonna take me to the country
She's gonna take me to the country
Well there's a woman I found on the outskirts of town
Knows how to treat me right
She's gonna take me to the country tonight

Well when the weekend comes and the work is done I'm lookin' for a place to play
I leave the city streets for the trees and creeks saddle up my Chesapeake Bay
With the moon above and a feelin' for love we're dancin' on a hardwood floor
It takes a whole lotta lovin' from a whole lotta woman
To keep me comin' back for more
Well on the outskirts of town there's a lady I've found
Knows how to treat me right
She's gonna take me to the country tonight

She's gonna take me to the country...
She's gonna take me to the country
