Let's be honest the country would be better off if rural white people where enslaved to build public transportation and work urban gardens.

The cops want to search the train
Isn't it nice living out in the country?
It's so nice for us to have a place
Off in our own space with no one to mind

There's Old Cranky the elderly lady next door
Who accuses us of burning down her barn
It's so different out here
One thing I've learned is that you never interfere
With Old Cranky's bales of hay

There's Larry our alcoholic neighbor at ten a.m.
Asking for a ride to the liquor store
It's so different out here
One thing I've learned is that
You never buy Larry beer
Or else he'll bug you everyday

It's a long and winding road to our house
So if you come to see us take it slow
Take it slow anyway when you come
You will know why we stay so far
From the city lights
We don't miss a thing from the city
It's good to drop out you should try it
Come take a walk at night it's so quiet
You should try it

There's Martin and his friend with the Thug Life tattoo
Looking menacing while landscaping the lawn
It's so different out here
One thing I've learned is to be cautious of the deer
They don't care if they die

I live on an acre in Montana, but I don't consider myself to be in "the country" even though there are horses in our neighbor's yard.
The nearest store is about a mile and a half a way, walking distance. I just consider myself to live in a suburban neighborhood.
The cut-off line is, if I lived in the country, I could pee in my front yard any time, day or night. Since I can't do that, I live in the suburbs.

I have run across a difference in terminology, especially when dealing with people from the South. Being "a country boy" or "a country girl" seems to be something they all brag about, and it usually means anyone who doesn't have sidewalks in their neighborhood. The fact that you live on a badly-maintained road, and it takes an entire 10 minutes to drive to Wal-Mart, doesn't mean you are in the country. It just means you are a dumb racist, most of the time.

i think this is a general american thing because idiot suburbanites in minnesota say the exact same thing. owning a gun and a fishing boat is apparently the only thing that some people have to base their identity on.

Protecting your virginity



I lived in both for a few years in my adult life.

The city (NYC) was awesome on Friday nights but poo poo on a daily basis otherwise.
The country (bumfuck southern US) is awesome on a daily basis in terms of work commute, non-violence, and friendly people but everyone around me is an inbred retard and there's nothing to do

The nature and clean air of the country make it worth it IMO. You can always drive to a nearby city, have a fun night/weekend out, and retreat to your country hidey hole. You can't outrun the daily grossness/danger/conjestion/noise of a major city.

EDIT also the suburbs are the absolute worst of both worlds. Less nature, mean neighbors, devoid of culture or decent restaurants, and the city is STILL usually a million miles away.
