FUNKY IN THE COUNTRY
As sung by Bob Gibson on "Funky in the Country" 1974.

Walk about a mile with Joey, Ted, and Mickey.
Barefoot gravel's gettin' kinda tricky.
Blowed my nose on the windy bit o' shirt tip.
Goin' back home; it's funky in the country.

Have an afternoon o' sunshine.
Skip a rock, maybe kick a tin can.
Set the sinker on a trot-line.
We'll have a time.

Wadin' in the water, playin' by the creek-side,
Tryin' to catch a crawdad, smoke a little grapevine.
Wonder where my dog went; supper's comin' soon...
… out here; it's funky in the country.

Can't take the hustle in the city.
Too fast, i gotta get a slowdown.
Out where it's peaceful an' it's pretty
Suits me just fine.

Chop a little stove-wood, stack it on the woodpile,
Baitin' up a trot-line, tryin' to catch a bullhead,
Jumpin out the hayloft, landin' on a haystack,
It blows my mind.

The sun is sinkin' on the hillside.
They're horseshoe pitchin' in the backyard.
Maybe sip a little moonshine,
White lightnin' time.

"Honey," lover's callin', "supper's on the table."
Later on the front porch rockin' in the glider,
We agree that we love it in the country.
It's lovely, lovin' in the country.

Have an afternoon o' sunshine,
Skip a rock, maybe kick a tin-can,
Set the sinker on a trot-line.
We'll have a time.

Walk about a mile with Joey, Ted, and Mickey.
Barefoot gravel's gettin' kinda tricky.
Blowed my nose on the windy bit o' shirt tip.
Goin' back home where it's funky in the country.
Goin' back home where it's funky in the country.
Goin' back home where it's funky in the country.


[Note: a few other people have recorded songs called FUNKY IN THE COUNTRY, but the ones I listened to were not the same song at all.]
