Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Summertime,
Drivin' fast down an old back road.
Feeling fine,
Got Skynyrd on the radio.
The moon is bright,
Me and my baby gonna break new ground.
On a blanket in a field of green,
Yeah the crickets sing a song to me, it goes:
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
How 'bout a night on the country?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It beats a night on the town.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Give me a night on the country.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
'Cause those city lights bring me down.
Fireflies,
They burn better than candlelight.
Ole Bob White down in the holler sings a lullaby,
You and me,
Well that's just enough company.
So baby listen to the nighttime breeze,
You can hear it singin' through the trees:
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
How 'bout a night on the country?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It beats a night on the town.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Give me a night on the country.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
'Cause those city lights bring me down.
Instrumental
Baby, listen to the nighttime breeze,
You can hear it singin' through the trees:
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
How 'bout a night on the country?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It beats a night on the town.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Give me a night on the country.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
'Cause those city lights bring me down.
