Goin up to the country
Come on along

We're gonna leave behind our phones and watches
Slip into our beards and moustaches
Swim in our birthday suits
Dance and get a little loose
If you got the gin, I got the juice, come on along
All this staring at a screen can't be good
Let's go out into the trees and burn some wood
We're gonna dirty up our hands
Abandon our elaborate plans
If you hear me, and you understand, come on along

We're gonna learn things that can't be put in books
Hang our hats on mother nature's hook
Sit by a stream, and have a think
Wash my face in mother nature's sink
We got lots to eat and drink, come on along
Good people, I believe, for what it's worth
We're gonna make a little heaven right here on earth
The New Best Friends will be swinging
Carolyn Mark will be singing
I got a big tent I'm bringing, come on along

But I gotta warn ya,
I've been known to hold hands and dance around in a circle
You know I might even wear purple
There'll be cowboys and hippies waltzing together
There'll be a whole lot of "I haven't seen you in forever"
If you can take the weather, come on along
And it must be fifteen years ago by now
A light went on in my head that never went out
Saw how it all fit together with room for me
Knew I'd always find family
Ain't that a lucky place to be? Come on along
If you still don't understand
Somebody's gonna take you by the hand
And they'll say, welcome home, my friend, welcome home

Ain't this just about all there is to life?
The mornings, the days, the evenings and the nights
If you got love, you don't need a lot
Every day is a gift you got
So whether you're s'posed to work or not, come on along
