Moving To The Country - Johnny Rivers

So many people

Are movin' to the country

See how they stumble

The weary and the worn

Lookin' for good laughs

With strong hearts and soft hands

It looks like better days are bein' born now

Oh yes they are

They met the old man

Livin' on the highway

He raised up his finger

As they were passin' by

«Where you goin'?»

He said, «Where you been»

And that made all the children start to cry

Oh yes it did

Some were cryin'

Some were prayin'

Some were throwin' their treasures away

Straighten out your road, you better

Lighten up your load

'Cause you can’t take it with you anyway

Oh no you can’t

There is a mountain

There is a valley

There is a river where the chosen people go

Go to see Moses

Go to see Jesus

And anybody here’s who wants to show

It’s alright

So many people

Are movin' to the country

See how they stumble

The weary and the worn

Lookin' for good laughs

With strong hearts and soft hands

Woah, it looks like better days are bein' born

Oh, it looks like better days are bein' born now

Yeah, it looks like better days are bein' born

Oh yes they are
