THE COUNTRY LIFE (is calling me back home)

Words and Music by: Richard Melvin Brown (SOCAN)

Verse 1:

How does a good old country boy end up a fool
When all he ever wanted was a pretty country girl
I've been 30 days beneath a haze of carbon colored sky
And I can't see thru the rain clouds in my eyes

Verse 2:

Why did this lonesome city take me from my home
So many million people and yet I feel I'm so alone
Loud guitars in all night bars won't even paralyze the pain
Think I'll buy a one way on a south bound train

Chorus:

THE COUNTRY LIFE IS CALLIN' ME BACK HOME
HOME TO WHERE MY BODY JOINS MY SOUL
TO WHERE THE SPIRIT OF A MAN IS PLANTED IN THE LAND
THE COUNTRY LIFE IS CALLIN ME BACK HOME

Verse 3:

As I behold that grey skyline evaporate in time
that old rat race dance and those traffic jams are now just memoirs in my mind
those Neon lights and concrete heights may be some folks cup of tea
But it's no place for a country boy like me

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
