Out from the town where the air is clean
and the birds sing a sweet song all day long
and the water don't hide any fluoride
from a country boy with his eyes on heaven
coming into town just to broaden his mind
I'm dis-illusioned, deafened by the tube train
longing for a little bit of autumn sand
long hair blowing threadbare collar
showing on the touch line thinking of my baby
walking in the sun with another man
Hey baby I'm your loving man
hey baby gonna' ask the taxman
if it's all right man, daddy can I go out tonight
I'm easy goin', straight up lookin'
no dice throwin', all time growin'
good clean livin', homegrown country man
I'm going home now, can't find a milk-cow
in Hampstead, any old time of day
not much lookin', but I like what's cookin'
when you open up your oven door and say
daddy can I go out tonight
daddy can I go out tonight
gonna' ask the taxman, if it's all right man
daddy can I go out tonight
I'm easy goin', straight up lookin'
no dice throwin', all time growin'
good clean livin', homegrown country man
