Are You Leaving For The Country Lyrics

Are you leaving for the country
You say the city brings you down
Lately I have fallen behind
And feel the circus moving on

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

???
???
Spread ???
Do you feel like something is not real
Let the spirit move you again
Are you leaving for the country

Do you feel like something is not real
Let the spirit move you again

Are you leaving for the country
You say the city brings you down
Lately I have fallen behind
And feel the circus moving on

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.
