I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go

I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go

Take you to some place I've never been before

I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine

I'm going 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 fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay

Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know you've got to leave today

Just exactly where we're going I cannot say, but

We might even leave the USA

'Cause it's a brand new game that I just want to play

No use of you running

Or screaming and crying

'Cause you've got a home, man

And I've got mine

I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go

I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go

Take you to some place I've never been before

I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine

I'm going 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 fussing and fighting, 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
