I'm goin' up the country, babe, don't you wanna go?
I'm goin' up the country, babe, don't you wanna go?
Take you to some place I've never been before

I'm goin', I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time

Gonna leave this city, got to get away
Gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussin' and fightin', man, you know I sure can't stay

Now, baby, pack your leavin' trunk, you know you got to leave today
Now just exactly where we goin' I can't say, but
We might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause it's a brand-new game that I just want to play

And no use of you running
Or screamin' and cryin'
'Cause you got a home, man
And I've got mine

I'm goin' up the country, babe, don't you wanna go?
I'm goin' up the country, babe, don't you wanna go?
Take you to some place I've never been before

I'm goin', I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time

Gonna leave this city, got to get away
Oh, leave this city, got to get away
All this fussin' and fightin', I know I sure can't stay

You better pack your leavin' trunk, you know you got to leave today
Now just exactly where we goin' I can't say, but
We might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause it's a brand-new game that I just want to play

And no use of me running
Or screamin' and cryin'
Because you got a home, man
And I've got mine
