Lyrics:

I have been to New York City, I have traveled there in style

It's a big conventient city but there ain't no country mile

I have put my hand inside the hands of men who could not see

What the singing of a bluebird means to me

I got that country cabin-itis in my soul

It will comfort me in trouble, be my friend when I am old

I have got to bring my country brothers back into the fold

I got that country cabin itis in my soul

Old wood burn stove, fried chicken, warm linoleum on the floor

Sunday preaching, Monday cursing and the girl that lives next door

I have done some heavy thinking I have suffered with the load

Just like running barefoot down the gravel road

I got that country cabin-itis in my soul

It will comfort me in trouble, be my friend when I am old

I have got to bring my country brothers back into the fold

I got that country cabin itis in my soul

I have known myself when others never knew me much at all

Sometimes it was the gettin' up that hurt more than the fall

I am not concerned with money I am not concerned with toys

Didn't they tell you Jesus was a country boy

I got that country cabin itis in my soul

It will comfort me in trouble, be my friend when I am old

I have got to bring my country brothers back into the fold

I got that country cabin itis in my soul

I got that country cabin itis in my soul

It will comfort me in trouble, be my friend when I am old

I have got to bring my country brothers back into the fold

I got that country cabin itis in my soul
