I travel around from town to town just trying to earn my pay
And i keep on hearing that same old line about the mis-begotten youth of today
They say that this country is not what it was and on that i'll have to agree
And they're always full of such good advice for the folks like you and me
But i just stick it in my pocket
And keep it safe from harm
And some day i'll find my peace of mind
Back on that old country farm
There's a very smart theatre in a west-country town where i played not long ago
And the lady in the office said it was the first time they'd put on a rock 'n' roll show
What i want to ask for my money do you know what she said to me
She said "i'm sorry about these crumpled and dirty pound notes they're not what we normally see"
But i just stick it in my pocket
And keep it safe from harm
And some day i'll find my peace of mind
Back on that old country farm
I was up on stage playing one night when i saw this little lady down below
And they way she was dancing and looking at me was enough to make the fuses blow
Now when i was finished i went looking for her i said "baby i'm in need of some more"
But i soon found out her old man was the bouncer on the night club floor
But i just stick it in my pocket
And keep it safe from harm
And some day i'll find my peace of mind
Back on that old country farm
Back on that old country farm
Living on that old country farm
