Here are the lyrics:

I'm going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
We gonna go somewhere
Where I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going
Where the water tastes like wine
I'm going
Where the water tastes like wine
So we can jump in the water
Stay drunk all the time
Come on now Ricky
I'm gonna leave this city
Got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city
Got to get away
Well, all this fussing and fighting
Man, you know I sure can't stay
Now baby, pack your leaving trunk
'Cause we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going, I cannot say
We might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause I gotta a brand new game I wanna play
Come on Walter now
No use of you running
Or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home
As long as I've got mine
Oh, you know you do
