Lyrics Countryside Boogie (Demo) - John Entwistle

You can take my money, you can take everything
But you can't take my love
There ain't no law says you can't love the country you live in
If you had to pay to be allowed to stay
Then you can take all I've got
But don't expect me to smile in the joy of giving

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
This is my home, it's where I stay
No shiny-arsed, leather-elbowed revenue man's
Gonna shoot me down

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
This is my home, it's where I stay
No pin-striped, double-chinned red flag waving at me's
Making me leave town

Everybody doin'
The countryside boogie
Everybody's doin'
The countryside boogie
Suicidal rock 'n' roll

Don't condemn the ones who've already gone
'Cause rats'll leave a sinking ship
'Cause if the ship is really going down
You cats had better take their tip
Our captain is a lunatic
A conjurer without a trick
He says there's something up his sleeve
His audience begin to leave

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
This is my home it's where I stay
No flashy-tie, long-faced deadbeat bad-news man's
Gonna bring me down
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
No rob-the-rich, feed-the-poor, crocked out Robin Hood's
Gonna shake me down

Everybody's doin'
The countryside boogie
Countryside boogie
Suicidal rock 'n' roll

Everybody's doin'
The countryside boogie
Countryside boogie
Suicidal rock 'n' roll
