Lyrics
Gonna move up to the country
Gonna relocate to the rural area
Paint my mailbox blue
Intending to paint the mailbox in a blue color
Gonna move up to the country
Reiteration of the desire to move to the countryside
Paint my mailbox blue
Reiteration of the plan to paint the mailbox blue
Put some flowers on it, baby
Planning to adorn the mailbox with flowers
Paint some trailin' vines and dew
Intending to paint trailing vines and dew on the mailbox
You know I'm leavin' LA, baby
Expressing the decision to leave Los Angeles due to the negative effects of smog
Don't you know this smog's got me down?
Acknowledging that the smog in LA is affecting the speaker
I'm leavin' LA, baby
Reiteration of the intention to leave LA
Don't you know this smog has got me down?
Highlighting the impact of smog as a reason for departure
I'm goin' up to the country
Expressing the decision to move to the countryside where there is no smog
Where there ain't no doggone smog around
Emphasizing the absence of smog in the country
Well, come here, baby
Inviting the listener (baby) to come closer
Sugar, let your papa take you by the hand
Addressing the listener as "Sugar" and expressing a paternal gesture
Well, come here, baby
Reiteration of the invitation for the listener to come closer
Sugar, let your papa take you by the hand
Repetition of addressing the listener as "Sugar" and expressing paternal intentions
Well, you be my woman
Expressing a desire for a romantic relationship with the listener
And I'll be your city-boy, country man
Offering a symbolic connection between the speaker (city-boy) and the listener (country man)
I'm gonna move up to the country
Reiteration of the plan to move to the countryside
Gonna paint, gonna paint, gonna paint, my mailbox blue
Expressing enthusiasm about painting the mailbox blue
Move up to the country
Reiteration of the intention to move to the country
Gonna paint my mailbox blue
Reiteration of the plan to paint the mailbox blue
Put some flowers on it, honey
Planning to decorate the mailbox with flowers
Paint some trailin' vines and dew
Expressing the intention to paint trailing vines and dew on the mailbox
