The Country Life Lyrics

Well, Mama thinks I'm made out of money
Daddy thinks we need more time
Sister's got her own opinion,
Caught her on the other line
I ain't trying to say they're crazy
I don't wanna say they're wrong
I ain't trying to complicate it
I just wanna sing my song

So long to the city life
So long to the neon sign
I'm gone
I'll trade the trouble, and this drive
for the country life

If I could get in touch with my cousin
maybe we could go away for awhile
If we ever wanna come back
Girl, you know we're gonna be back in style
Twenty-seven hours later
We could buy a couple bottles of wine
We don't need the conversation
'Cause tonight, we're going back in time

so long to the city life
so long to the neon sign
I'm gone
I'll trade the trouble, and this drive

so long to the city life
so long to the neon sign
I'm gone
I'll trade the trouble, and this drive
for the country life

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.

I will be the first person to comment on any of the silverseas songs !

I love this song and all of the other silver seas songs

This song is about someone who is sick and tired of living in the city and they want to get away and move out into the country - they country life and they want to escape from reality and have fun with those that remain close to them
