This Country Road

              This Country Road

Wake up every day to the smell of the morning dew;

I have a few words to say to you.

Start my day with dawn’s early light;

Go to bed early every night.

You may think this country boy carries a heavy load.

When you see me walking this country road….

(Chorus)

This country road brings me back home to what is mine;

I know it well; it leads to the County Line.

I see my girl waiting for me; she is so fine.

I’ll keep walking this country road.

I’ll keep on walking this country road.

You know I thought I’d love those big City streets;

But City life is just not for me.

Everybody going some place, but not the place I wanna be;

All closed in and not enough trees.

In the country, it’s both wild and free;

That’s where I can be just what I want to be.

I would rather be fishing in those country streams.

I’ll keep on walking this country road.

Birds singing, I smell the roses on the breeze

I left behind the noise and the pollution of the city

Walked this country road back home to my baby

Happy to see me, she runs to greet me;

Holding each other tight feels just right;

 I sure missed you, Baby;

 We’re walking this country road, holding hands;

  Oooo____this country road

Setting sun on the horizon;

 Sitting on the tailgate of an old rusty truck, having fun

 Watching lightning bugs as the crickets sing

 We catch up on everything we been missing;

Never better than in the country, this sweet, sweet kissing;

 We know love that matters here on this country road.

 Woah, woah; this country road  

(Repeat chorus)
