Livin' In The Country |
| The money would be pretty good |
| if a quart of milk were still a dollar |
| or even if a quart of milk were still a quart |
| And the hours, well, I don’t mind |
| how they creep on by like an old love of mine |
| it’s the years that simply disappear that are doing me in Guess I married too young, |
| yeah, nineteen was just too young, |
| but sometimes you meet someone |
| and your guts just burn |
| It’s not that I don’t love him anymore |
| it’s just that when I hear him |
| coming through that front door |
| my heart doesn’t race like it did once before |
| But I’ve got a horse out in the country |
| I get to see him every second Sunday |
| He comes when I call him, |
| yeah, he knows his name |
| One day I’ll saddle up and the two of us will ride away |
| This weather I could almost stand |
| if the sun would shine a little brighter |
| or even if the sun would shine at all |
| But lately it just seems to me that this life has lost its mystery |
| and these cold fall mornings seem to bite |
| just a little bit harder |
| And all my friends have settled down |
| become their mothers and their fathers |
| without a sound |
| Except for Cathy, |
| she bought a one-way subway ticket |
| and left us all behind |
| But I’ve got a horse out in the country |
| I get to see him every second Sunday |
| He comes when I call him, |
| yeah, he knows his name |
| One day I’ll saddle up and the two of us will ride away |
| This town wouldn’t be so bad |
| if a girl could trust her instincts |
| or even if a girl could trust a boy |
