someday i'm gonna get a dog
and the dog's gonna run free
and i won't need a collar or a leash
cause i'll be living in the country
and when somebody doesn't want to play
i'm gonna open up the door wide
and i'll be runnin' in the tall grass
with my own dog by my side
and when i find a secret hiding place
i'll make a soft pillow out of hay
and i'll share it with my happy dog
we will stay there for the whole day
i love to be free
that's the best thing about me
and there's a rover in the world now
with the same dream so we
will find our way home
when the colors of the sunset
i see them stretch across a big sky
that's a good feeling we get
and by the time i go to sleep at night
i'm ready for tomorrow as i doze
i got a warm cover over me
sleeping rover on my toes
someday i'm gonna get a dog
and the dog's gonna run free
and i won't need a collar or a leash
'cause we'll be living in the country
living in the country!
living in the country!
