E
He don't need no sedatives
to ease his troubled mind.
At work he is invariably unpleasant and unkind.
A
Why should he care if he is hated in his home,
                 B
'Cause he's gotta house in the country,
And a big sports car.
          E
He's gotta house in the country,
And a big sports car.

Chorus:
                    A
But he ain't gotta home, oh no,
And he's as wicked as he can be,
                   B
'Cause he's gotta house in the country
                                     E
Where he likes to spend his weekend days.
   C#m      F#m             B
Oh yeah, oh yeah, well all right

Well, he got his job when drunken
daddy tumbled down the stairs
From that very day this boy
is more than having his share
One of these days
I'm gonna knock him off of his throne
'Cause he's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
He's got a house in the country
And a big sports car

Chorus:
And he's oh so smug, oh yeah
He's got everything he needs
'Cause he's got a house in the country
Where he likes to spend his weekend days
Oh yeah, oh yeah, well, all right

And he's oh so smug, oh yeah
He's got everything he needs
'Cause he's got a house in the country
And a big sports car
He's got a house in the country
And a big sports car

But he's socially dead, oh yeah
And it don't matter much to him
'Cause he's got a house in the country
Where he likes to spend his weekend days
Oh yeah, oh yeah, well, all right

B
House in the country
E
