Take Me Back to the Country
Escape the Urban Chaos: Take Me Back to the Country with Dolly Parton
Lyrics
Well this big city life is gettin' me down
Expressing dissatisfaction with urban life.
There's just too many people around
Feeling overwhelmed due to the crowded city environment.
There's dirt in the air and crime in the street
Noticing pollution and an increase in crime.
High-rise buildings and cold concrete
Describing the urban landscape with tall buildings and concrete.
This rat race sure enough takes a toll
Highlighting the stress and toll of a competitive lifestyle.
I want to run off to my fishin' hole
Expressing a desire to return to a peaceful and familiar place.
Take me back take me back
Repeatedly expressing the longing to return to the country.
Take me back to the country
-Take me back take me back
-Take me back to the country
-Where the stars at night
Contrasting the rural night sky with the bright lights of the city.
Outshine those city lights
Emphasizing the beauty of natural stars over artificial city lights.
Take me back to the country
Reiterating the desire to go back to the countryside.
Where the eagles fly
-And the treetops touch the sky
-Take me back to the country
-This traffic jam is makin' me mad
Expressing frustration with city traffic.
I miss the simple life I had
Longing for the simplicity of life experienced in the past.
Peace and quite runnin' free
Desiring peace and quiet and the freedom to roam.
I want to go home to my family
Expressing a strong desire to return home to family.
I'm sick of the clock, sick of the phone
Being tired of the constraints of time and constant phone use.
Out in the country my time's my own
Reflecting on the freedom of time experienced in the countryside.
Take me back take me back
Repetition of the plea to be taken back to the country.
Take me back to the country
-Take me back take me back
-Take me back to the country
-Where the stars at night
Emphasizing the natural beauty and freedom of the countryside.
Outshine those city lights
-Take me back to the country
-Where the eagles fly
-And the treetops touch the sky
-Take me back to the country
-Where the stars at night
Reiteration of the desire to return to the country, emphasizing stars, eagles, and treetops.
Outshine those city lights
-Take me back to the country
-Where the eagles fly
-And the treetops touch the sky
-Take me back to the country
-Take me back to the country
Final plea to be taken back to the country.
