Elderberry Wine

I'd fall in love with New York in a minute
If I could find a gravel road somewhere in it
Green grass growin' on a hill so pretty
A tree or two in this concrete city

I miss my pop and old Uncle Joe
Sittin' on the bank of a fishin' hole
Reelin' in crappie till we caught our limit
Fryin' hush puppies in a skillet

I miss my family and the countryside
Takin' Miss Molly for a pony ride
Livin' laid back where the only crime
Was sippin' Jake's jug of elderberry wine

This city life is loosin' its charm
I find my heart's still back on the farm
Feelin' the wind blowin' through my hair
Breathin' that sweet smellin' country air

Drivin' my tractor with a load of hay
Muscles achin' at the end of the day
Sittin' down to mom's apple pie
With billions of stars overhead in the sky

I miss my family and the countryside
Takin' Miss Molly for a pony ride
Livin' laid back where the only crime
Was sippin' Jake's jug of elderberry wine

I've got a job and made some friends
But that's where this good luck story ends
I feel penned in no breathin' room
Time for a change and real soon

I've got to get my life in focus
Come Monday mornin' I'm givin' my notice
Quittin' this job with all of its frills
And takin' this country boy back to the hills

I miss my family and the countryside
Takin' Miss Molly for a pony ride
Livin' laid back where the only crime
Was sippin' Jake's jug of elderberry wine
Elderberry wine... Elderberry wine... Elderberry wine
