Are you leaving for the country?
I hear the city brings you down
Lately I have fallen behind
And watched the circus moving on out of town

Are you leaving for the country?
I know a little country town
Where the dogs sleep out in the cold
And the flag pole's falling down

By and high
The whip-poor-will flies
Spreads his wings and moves off into space
Do you feel like something ain't real?
Let the spirit move you again
Are you leaving for the country?
