Out In The Country |
| Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around |
| Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around |
| And the dust blow up 'til the cool rain tumble down |
| I’m a redwing blackbird sit singin' on the fence |
| I’m a redwing blackbird sing sittin' on the fence |
| Say it’s OK all day, but nobody seems convinced |
| I’m a little old pasture creek; |
| they got no name for me |
| I’m a little pasture creek, got no name for me |
| When I grow up, I’m gonna be the Mississippi |
| I’m a farmer’s long shiny car runnin' out of gas |
| I’m a farmer’s long shiny car runnin' out of gas |
| And the bikes and the tracks and the mopeds whizzin' past |
| I’m a chick-chickie-chicken peckin' in the corn |
| I’m a chickie-chickie-chicken peckin' in the corn |
| My mama says I was round when I was born |
| (But I don’t believe that.) |
| I’m a little old raccoon; |
| I got candles in my eyes |
| I’m a little raccoon, I got candles in my eyes |
| Stay away from the road or else I might draw flies |
| (Just lyin' there.) |
| Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around |
| Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around |
| And the farm get bigger and the old home place fall down |
| I’m a grain elevator white as a china dish |
| I’m a grain elevator white as a china dish |
| Tall as a satellite, fat as an old catfish |
| I’m a July cornfield far as you can see |
| I’m a July cornfield far as you can see |
| And if you real careful, you can walk on top of me |
| (Ah, you got to believe though. Now first you get your one foot up there |
| And then you gotta get your other foot up there. |
| Easy now… oops, you |
| Didn’t believe.) |
| I’m a cool farm pond on a day about a hundred and ten |
| I’m a cool farm pond on a day about a hundred and ten |
| I’m cool, I’m round, I’m ready, so come on in |
| I’m a river valley; |
| I used to be a mountain top |
| I’m a river valley, I used to be a mountain top |
| Once you go down, brother, it’s hard to stop |
| Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around |
| Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around |
| And the dust blow up 'til the cool rain tumble down |
| Cool rain tumblin', cool rain tumblin', cool rain tumblin'… |
| And a cool rain, and a cool rain, tumblin'… |
