Country Dream

COUNTRY DREAM

RODEO I GOTTA GO

BUCKING BRONCOS

RIDING DOWN THESE RANGE ROADS

LOOKING AT THE ROLLING FOOTHILLS

PRAIRIE GRASS AND SAGE

ANCIENT WHISPERS FROM ANOTHER AGE

BIG FARMS SMALL FARMS

WITH ALL THE MOUNTAINS FOR A VIEW

IT'S HARD TO LOOK AWAY

COYOTES CROSSING THE FIELD

IN THE MORNING SUN

EAGLES CIRCLING THE SKIES ABOVE

GOT THE RABBITS GONE TO GROUND

I'D LIKE TO LIVE HERE

BUT LIFE'S GOT OTHER PLANS

IN THE CITY WHERE I DON'T BELONG

AND IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG

BEFORE I FIND MYSELF OUT ON THESE RANGE ROADS

WHERE I FEEL ALIVE

FILL MY SOUL WITH SWEET COUNTRY DREAMS

 BIG OLD COUNTRY MOON

RISING ABOVE THE TREES

DON'T TAKE MUCH TO SATISFY ME

LONE WOLF HOWLING ON A HILL

THEN SILENCE ALL AROUND

 COUNTRY NIGHT MY FAVORITE SOUND

DOWN BY THE RIVER DEEP IN THE WOODS

I'D BUILD A LITTLE HOUSE IF I COULD

I'D LIKE TO GET A HORSE AND RIDE THE RANGE

RIGHT INTO THE PINES

RIDE OUT ONTO A RIDGE

AS THE SUNS GOING DOWN 

JUST ME AND THAT HORSE

SILHOUETTED AGAINST THE SKY

I'D RIDE HIM FAST

I'D RIDE HIM SLOW

I'D WALK BESIDE HIM AS THE SUNS SINKING LOW

IN MY MIND THAT'S FREE

YOU COULDN'T FIND ME

I'LL FIND YOU INSTEAD, IF I WANT

BUT NO LOOK AT ME

BARELY HANGING ONTO THIS LIFE OF MINE

BUT THAT DON'T STOP ME NONE FROM DREAMING

OF RANGE ROADS, THAT LEAD ME HOME

A LITTLE BIT OF COUNTRY THAT I CAN CALL MY OWN

I CAN ALMOST HEAR THE COUNTRY SILENCE

SETTLING INTO MY SOUL

IT'S SOMETHING I NEED TO FEEL

SOMETHING I NEED TO BE REAL

I LIE HERE IN MY BED

DREAMS OF RANGE ROADS IN THE COUNTRY

FILL MY HEAD

COUNTRY DREAM, I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE
