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'…
