I gotta keep on rollin', like a country wagon wheel
I gotta keep on rollin', just like a country wagon wheel
I gotta find me somebody, that'll help me pay these bills

You know city life ain't so easy, I'll take country life, every time
You know city life ain't so easy, I'll take country life every time
You train your woman like you train your mule1, all you'll do is take your life

City life ain't so easy, you gotta keep your business straight
You know city life ain't so easy, honey, got ta keep your business straight
I'll leave home at seven, baby, then surely come in at eight
