I Feel the Country Callin' Me

Sometimes when I take a little break

My mind slips away to a steel green lake

About a thousand miles away from here

I got a fishin' pole and an ice cold beer

Just lyin' back in the cool green grass

Nothin' on my mind but a five pound bass

Watchin' the evenin' sun go down

The crickets are the only sound around

I feel the country callin' me

Sayin' come on home where you oughta be

Pack up your clothes and your guitar

Come home and catch a lightin' bug

And put him in a jar

Some clown got his foot inside my door

Tellin' me a joke I've heard before

My mind slips back to another time

I got that ol' bass hangin' on my line

I got an ole hound dog to be my friend

Life was so much simpler then

But then the lights start dimmin' down

And it's my turn to be a clown

I feel the people callin' me

Sayin' come on home where you oughta be

Pack up your clothes and your guitar

Come home and catch a lightin' bug

And put him in a jar

I feel the people callin' me

Sayin' come on home where you oughta be

Pack up your clothes and your guitar

Come home and catch a lightin' bug

And put him in a jar
