Country Dreams |
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 |
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 |
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 |
