Livin’ Up Country

[Verse 1] When I were living in the country I were working up until I fell I only went down My ship had already sailed I met a girl down in Memphis It was going well I thought at first She never said bye She left when she'd knew I'd fail [Chorus] And if I could understand Might finally get some rest at last Would I fight to take a stand? I'd never look back Never have to look out for the Man [Verse 2] When I were moving out the country Thought my luck came by and I was saved Couldn't get out I found no check in the mail So I went up to Nashville It was going well but then went still I couldn't get by Lucky to live to tell the tale [Chorus] And if I could understand Might finally get some rest at last Would I fight to take a stand? I'd never look back Never have to look out for the Man [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] And if I could understand Might finally get some rest at last Would I fight to take a stand? I'd never look back Never have to look out for the Man Said never look back Never have to look out for the Man
