Canned Heat – Going Up The Country lyrics
I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go
I'm going up the country, babe don't you wanna go
I'm going to some place where I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
Well I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay
Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say, but We might even leave
The usa 'Cause there's a brand new game that I want to play
No use of you running, or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine

    Those of us who came of age in the 60's and were eligible for the draft and possible service in Viet Nam knew what this song was about when it made the top 40 in 1968.It was about young men leaving the US to to Canada to avoid the draft.Thats why there in the song that says "we might even the usa".Thie first line of the of song was used in a commercial for motorcycle insurance several yrs ago.As a former draftee in '68 and motorcycle rider,it struck home with me straight away.I doubt those who made the the commercial had even a clue to it's meaning.
