| This phone’s growin' into my ear
|
| I made three hundred calls today
|
| Though yours is the only voice that I wanna hear
|
| I got to make me a livin' someway
|
| I know you hate me doin' this
|
| You say I’m sellin' out
|
| But how in the hell is a man supposed to live?
|
| Sellin’s what it’s all about
|
| Hello Sir, I’m the Pocono Land Development Company
|
| And I’m callin' you with an offer of some land
|
| That you’ll just have to see
|
| A quarter acre plot that’s what I’ve got for you
|
| Nineteen ninety five, four hundred dollars down
|
| And just ten bucks a week
|
| It’s two short hours from New York city
|
| A Pocono Land site, green and pretty
|
| There’s lakes there and trout streams
|
| Mountain views, country dreams, country dreams
|
| We dreamed our dreams in college, girl
|
| Back then we thought we should
|
| And we promised that we would save the world
|
| Way back then we thought we could
|
| I know you love your teachin' now
|
| But I wish you’d understand
|
| There aren’t that many jobs around
|
| I’m doin' the best I can
|
| Hello Sir, I’m the Pocono Land Development Company
|
| And I’m callin' you with an offer of some land
|
| That you’ll just have to see
|
| A quarter acre plot that’s what I’ve got for you
|
| Nineteen ninety five, four hundred dollars down
|
| And just ten bucks a week
|
| It’s two short hours from New York city
|
| A Pocono Land site, green and pretty
|
| There’s lakes there and trout streams
|
| Mountain views, country dreams, country dreams
|
| I’m here with forty other guys crowded in a room
|
| Makin' a livin', sellin' the moon and rustic dreams in June
|
| I used to hate the city, now I’m dwellin' in it
|
| Used to love the country now I’m sellin' it
|
| I’m doin' well at it, that’s the hell of it
|
| I said that we would find a farm
|
| And live out on the land
|
| It’s strange how dreams come back at us
|
| In ways that we had never planned
|
| Here I’m sellin' real estate
|
| And laughin' at myself
|
| If I can’t have my country dream
|
| I’m gonna sell it out to somebody else
|
| Hello Sir, I’m the Pocono Land Development Company
|
| And I’m callin' you with an offer of some land
|
| That you’ll just have to see
|
| A quarter acre plot that’s what I’ve got for you
|

|

|

|

|
| There’s lakes there and trout streams
|
| Mountain views, country dreams, country dreams
|
| Darlin', don’t get mad at me
|
| I’m doin' this for you
|
| It’s really not so sad to see
|
| We had growin' up to do country dreams
|
| Oh, please don’t push me anymore
|
| It’s gonna work out fine
|
| I know I said, I’d quit before
|
| But just give me a little more time, country dreams |
