[G]

[Verse 1]
I'm leavin' town and leavin' [G]at
eight
Got me my fishing pole and
the [D]ice chest on its way
You know vaca[G]tions don't
come around soon enough
[Em]So I just call[C]ed in sick, sa[D]id,
"Screw the pay"
[G]

[Verse 2]
Got me a few brews and
a little barbeque now
My fold- up chair sittin' in [D]the shade
You know [G]I ain't got the time
'cause I've been wastin' it all
[Em]Out where that river[C]'s
a [D]calling my [G]name

[Verse 3]
Out where that [D]river's calling [G]my name
I said that [D]river's been a calling [G]my name
I left [D]my troubles back in town
a few country [G]miles away
When I [Em]heard that river just [D]a calling my [G]name
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]
[G][D][G][D][Em][E][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
Now good ol' [G]Alfred got to thinkin'
'Bout that boss man somethin' fierce
He said, "That boss man he's
been slaving me [D]away"
And when that [G]boss man,
he told Alfred to pull another double shift
[Em]He said, "You know[C] I don't think
I'm [D]feelin' so good today"
[G]

[Verse 5]
Now good ol' Alfred
he weren't citified now
Never really paid it no mind
But he said, "Them city slickers
move way [D]too fast!"
Now you can just [G]go on 'bout your business,
really doing [Em]nothing at all
I'd rather be [C]dirty sittin'
[D]barefoot in [G]the grass

[Verse 6]
Out where that [D]river's calling [G]my name
I said that [D]river's been a calling [G]my name
I left my [D]troubles back in town
a few country [G]miles away
When I heard that [Em]river just a [D]calling my [G]name
[D]

[Interlude 2]
[G][D]
[G][D][G][Em][C][D][C]
[G]

[Verse 7]
Hey!
You just go on 'bout your business,
here doing nothin' at all
I'd rather be dirty sittin'
barefoot in the grass
