A Place Out In The Country

Steve Clark (Songwriter), Johnny MacRae, Bob Morrison

[Verse 1]
For thirty some odd years he faced a grinder in the city
Hustling day in day out just trying to survive
He wife wanted the finer things, his three kids wanted college
He'd always took what little bit he tried to put aside

[Verse 2]
But through it all he had one thing that seemed to keep him going
A dream that someday he could leave the city life behind
His temples grayed, his pace slowed down, but his dream never faded
He told me all about it at least a thousand times

[Chorus]
He always wanted, a place out in the country
Where the birds sing, in the morning, and the grass is emerald green
A place where, he could feel the morning sunshine
And sit out in the evening, where the air is fresh and clean

[Verse 3]
It took lots of overtime to keep his wife up with the Jones's
And more to get his son out of his run-ins with the law
The more it took the more he gave, never once complaining
I don't know how he ever stood the pressure of it all

[Verse 4]
I never thought he'd make it, but he finally left the city
And now he's got that special little place to call his own
Today I took a ride out in the country just to see him
It wasn't hard to find because his name was on the stone

[Chorus]
He always wanted, a place out in the country
Where the birds sing, in the morning, and the grass is emerald green
A place where, he could feel the morning sunshine
And sit out in the evening, where the air is fresh and clean
He always wanted, a place out in the country

[Outro]
Goodbye old friend
