Well I'm going back to the country
I can't pay the rent
My mum and dad will sure be mad
At all the money I spent

Now I know
Just what they meant
I ain't broke
But brother I'm badly bent

Well I had a lot of money
But to the city I went
I met a lot of good-looking girls
And that's where my money went

Now I know
Just what they meant
I ain't broke
But brother I'm badly bent

Well when I get back to the country
I'll be living in a tent
My mum and dad will sure be mad
At all the money I spent

Now I know
Just what they meant
I ain't broke
But brother I'm badly bent

Well I'm a-going back to the country
I can't pay the rent
Now I know they're going to be mad
At all the money I spent

Now I know
Just what they meant
I ain't broke
But brother I'm badly bent
