Running in the wrong direction   Isn't it a long way home?   People with the wrong intentions   Isn't it a long way home?      City, you are dying real slow   Country, you are calling me to go   Smokestacks, I don't need you no more   I'm gonna fly      To where the sky meets the land   And the living is not planned   And the children can laugh   Just 'cause they're living      I'll send for you   If you ever want me to   But you'll have to find   A whole new way of giving      Running from the noise and poison   Isn't it a long way home?   Wounded by a law man's toy gun   Isn't it a long way home?      City, no more shadows to be seen   Country, all the sunshine you can dream   Smokestacks spew your sour-smelling steam   I'm gonna fly      To where the sky meets the land   And the living is not planned   And the children can laugh   Just 'cause they're living      I'll send for you   If you ever want me to   But you'll have to find   A whole new way of giving      Live in the country   Live in the country   Live in the country   Live in the country      Live in the country   Live in the country   Live in the country   Live in the country
