lyrics

I’m going out to the country boys if I ain’t got a place to live (x2)
I’ll get outta this city boys where I ain’t had a dime to give

I’m going out to the country and find myself a little spot (x2)
build a little shack and sit in the yard and rock

he was staring at the fire just dreaming about the day (x2)
when he’d get up from this city life boys and just walk away

nobody was there to listen when he says ‘boys...’ (x2)
I’m going out to the country and get away from all this noise

he was 70 then but looked to be about 110 (x2)
sleeping rough every night dreaming up country to the end

about

Charlie Parr Duluth, Minnesota

"Parr is scruffy and uncomfortable looking, with a longish beard and balding head. He dropped out of high school in the 1980s, but he looks older than that. He's pathologically deadpan in his delivery of in between song banter. The crowd really enjoyed his depressingly hilarious dead cat story. He never smiles." - Lucy Steigerwald
