Home Groan - Magna Carta

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
