Текст песни
Standing on a hilltop, wishing on a quick star, enemies all around me
Got to make a rest stop, wonder where my friends are, it's about time they found me
Well, I'm caught in the middle of a shooting war
Can't even gather what I'm fighting for
Hate to imagine what they've got in store
Somebody put the heat on me
Who could it be now, who could it be?
Stranded by the seaside, waiting out the high tide, taking a short vacation
Wading through the hot crowd, laughing at 'em out loud, crying in desperation
Well, I'm caught in the current and I'm going down
Ain't got a will and I'm about to drown
I hope they can forward all my bags to town
Somebody's out to blow my mind
They're doing fine, now, doin' so fine
All I need is some time to myself, and a place in the country
That's what I got to find now, a place in the country
Waiting by the highway, people going my way, making like they ignore me
Running from the rat race, smiling with a false face, searching the road before me
I'm hot on the trail of something I can't find
I can't pay my ticket
And I'm going blind
I think I discovered I've been left behind
Somebody wants to use my name
It's a shame, now, ain't it a shame
All I need is some time to escape, and a place in the country
That's what I need now, a place in the country
