"Junior's Farm" was written by Paul McCartney (though credited to Paul and Linda McCartney) and performed by Paul McCartney and Wings.
It was issued as a non-album single by Apple Records in October 1974; it peaked at No. 3 in the United States and No. 16 in the United Kingdom.

Writing;
McCartney had his first ideas about writing a song about quiet farm lifestyle during his long family stay at his cottage in Campbeltown, Scotland between April and August 1970, amidst the turbulent break-up of the Beatles, but he shelved his recording project for four years.
McCartney bought the 183-acre Scottish estate called High Park Farm in 1966, a place where he composed and recorded several songs.

In his 2021 memoir book titled The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, he said:

"It was such a relief to get out of those business meetings with people in suits, who were so serious all the time, and go off to Scotland and be able just to sit around in a T-shirt and corduroys. I was very much in that mindset when I wrote this song. The basic message is, let’s get out of here. You might say it's my post-Beatles getting-out-of-town song."
