Here in the Sticks |
LyricsI'm here in the sticksOut on the deck Discovered a big ol' skeeter just had dinner on the back of my neck He's now in my beer A floatin' souvenir, but I don't care It's the price you pay when you get away from the city and come out here... Here in the sticks... Where the tall red oaks grow And the view outside your door Is worth everything you own Where the night life is wild And the wild is everywhere As the bull frogs make ya smile The screech owl curls your hair... Yeah, you get a big ol', downright country feel-good fix... here in the sticks I'm here with the fish Caught me a bunch Then a walleye bit my finger, one little slip n' I was lunch But I'm okay A slight fingertip fillet... and I still say... I'll gladly deal with being a meal if it means I get another day... Here in the sticks... Where the tall red oaks grow And the view outside your door Is worth everything you own Where the night life is wild And the wild is everywhere As the bull frogs make ya smile The screech owl curls your hair... Yeah, you get a big ol', downright country feel-good fix... here in the sticks So, if you're tired of the high-stress nonsense there in town Take some time off, bring some bug-off... n' we'll wind it down, down... Here in the sticks... Where the skyscrapers grow And the view outside your door Is worth everything you own Where the night life is wild And the wild is everywhere As the bull frogs make ya smile The screech owl curls your hair... Yeah, you get a big ol', downright country feel-good fix... here in the sticks |
