City Vs. Country

I want to live close to downtown to be near my friends

I want to be close to them,

And still be out by the trees and the wind

Havin' both will be hard to find I'm sure,

But then ain't that the way of the world,

I want the city but I want the country too.

I want to be with my friends by the fire and the starlight

But I want music, music in my life

Yes, I want a bar hoppin' music scene

And I want to pick from ten or fifteen

I want the city but I want the country too.

(Guitar)

My mind is quiet, when my thoughts are slow

I stop to learn what I been wantin' to know

I need to live in the ancient world

If I'm gonna do what I want to do

I want the city but I want the country too

I'll never have both moon and sun

But one never knows, does one?

I want the city but I want the country too.
