Comin' into Paris, France, Cimetiere du Pere-Lachaise, where Oscar Wilde lies sleepin' Top the Cathedral de Sacre-Coeur, all I kow is oh mon dieu, the town is breathin' And the street are dirty, like New Orleans is And the women smell good Don't you know Don't you know Don't you know Comin' back to Amsterdam, a long ol' way from Birmingham, Alabama Coffee shops and red light whores, devil's always at your door, knockin' atcha And the shows never end Tonight I'll do it again Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
I'm going back to the country, cause country's what I am Going back to the country, back to Alabama Going to the country, eatin' cornbread and raisin' hell Going back to the country, where my memory serves me well
Now it's time to catch a plane, to take a bus, to catch a train to Salsamaggiore, Italy Hangin' out with Romeo, the Prince and I know where to go, back to ol' Everett and Donnie And no matter where I roam I'll always miss my home Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
Now I'm going back to the country, cause country's what I am Going back to the country, back to Alabama Going to the country, eatin' cornbread and raisin' hell Going back to the country, where my memory serves me well
Now I'm going back to the country, cause country's what I am Going back to the country, back to Alabama Going to the country, eatin' cornbread and raisin' hell Going back to the country, where my memory serves me well
