Let's Move To The Country Lyrics

Let's move to the country
Just you and me

My travels are over
My travels are through

Let's move to the country
Just me and you

A goat and a monkey
A mule and a flea

Let's move to the country
Just you and me

Let's start a...
Let's have a...

My travels are over

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

He sings "Let's start a/Let's have a" so naturally that you can listen to the song for a couple years and not notice what's being left out. What a perfectly compact, perfectly accurate-feeling statement of anxiety about commitment. This asshole Bill is so good at his job!

He wants so badly for his travels to be over, but he just can't quite--

This song is sexy and unbelievably beautiful. I'm surprised it has no comments.

While I agree that the omitted lyrics denote some anxiety, I also think that this is a case where he says infinitely more in silence. Also, the use of future tense is brilliant as it adds to the feeling of jumping off into the unknown.
