Workin' nine to five just to stay alive
Livin' from day to day
And the TV dinners and the tonic and gin
Is eatin' up all my pay

It's a natural fact if you're livin' like that
You won't be livin' long
Takes a whole lotta lovin' from a whole lotta woman
To keep you satisfied and strong

Well, on the outskirts of town there's a lady I've found
Knows how to treat me right
She's gonna take me to the country tonight

She's gonna take me to the country
She's gonna take me to the country
Well there's a woman I found on the outskirts of town
Knows how to treat me right
She's gonna take me to the country tonight

Well, when the weekend comes and the work is done
I'm lookin' for a place to play
I leave the city streets for the trees and creeks
Saddle up my Chesapeake Bay

With the moon above and a feelin' for love
We're dancin' on a hardwood floor
It takes a whole lotta lovin' from a whole lotta woman
To keep me comin' back for more

Well, on the outskirts of town there's a woman I've found
Knows how to treat me right
She's gonna take me to the country tonight

She's gonna take me to the country
She's gonna take me to the country
Yeah, there's a woman I found on the outskirts of town
Knows how to treat me right
She's gonna take me to the country tonight
She's gonna take me to the country tonight
