A Country Jaunt

about

I always loved the Canned Heat track "Going Up The Country" and wanted to rewrite it in my own, rocking style.

Apologies to my cousin David Thomas, who is from the county of Kent - he is a lovely lad, surely a country gent, not a jaunty count.

lyrics

A Country Jaunt

Ok
Right on
Give it to me
One more time

Said we're going up the country
Gonna have ourselves a time
I said now you got yours and
I got mine

We're going up the country
On a country jaunt
We're gonna find ourselves
A jaunty count

We're gonna find ourselves
A country gent
Maybe from the county of Kent

We're going up the country
Go relax and unwind
Gonna find
A better state of mind

We're going up the country
Go relax and unwind
Gonna find ourselves
A better state of mind

We're going up the country
We gotta get away
Maybe tomorrow
Or maybe just today

Said we're going up the country
Gonna have ourselves a time
I said now you got yours and
I got mine

We're going up the country
We gotta get away
Maybe tomorrow
Or maybe just today
