COUNTRY MOON

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

 2017

OLD DIRT ROADS LIKE RIBBONS OF GOLD

STRETCHED OUT BEFORE ME

LYING LAZY IN THE SUN

IT WAS HERE THAT IT ALL BEGAN

BEST TIMES I EVER HAD

BUT NOW THEY'RE ALL GONE

AND TIMES MOVED ON

THIS ISN'T THE PLACE IT WAS NOW THEN

EVERYTHING LOOKED DIFFERENT BETTER

YOU CAN'T GO HOME I TRIED

IT'S ALL GONE NOT THERE

JUST A FEW BRICKS THAT GOT MISSED IN THE WEEDS

WHO TOOK ALL THE TREES

WHERE I USED TO PLAY

WHO TOOK IT ALL AWAY

TIME DOESN'T ALWAYS PLAY FAIR

THERE WAS SO MUCH MACIC

SO MANY DREAMS

SUNSETS OF GOLD LIKE NONE I'VE EVER SEEN 

OH THOSE COUNTRY GIRLS

SURE KNEW HOW TO SMILE

FIND A WAY INTO YOUR HEART

YOU CAN'T HELP BUT SMILE

RIGHT FROM THE START

YOU FEEL LIKE YOU JUST FELL OFF A STAR

YOU WONDER IF YOU'RE STILL

 WHO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE

SAME OLD PLACE

BUT NOT THE SAME OLD PLACE IT USED TO BE

NO RECOGNIZABLE FACES I SEE

EVERYONE IS GONE

THE SAME OLD ROADS

BUT EVERYBODY'S MOVED ON

TAKING MEMORIES AND LEAVING SOME BEHIND

JUST FOR ME TO FIND

 WILDFLOWERS AS FAR AS YOU COULD SEE

FIELDS OF GRAIN BOWING THEIR HEADS IN THE SUN

PROUD AS CAN BE

WE ONCE STOOD HERE AND DREAMED

BIG OLD COUNTRY MOON

LOOKING DOWN ON ME

COUNTRY NIGHT, CAST ANOTHER SPELL

KISS ME COUNTRY GIRL

 I PROMISE I WON'T TELL  

BUT I CAN'T PROMISE I WON'T TOUCH 

WHEN THE MOON FINDS YOU IN IT'S LIGHT

SHINING THROUGH YOUR HAIR

REFLECTING IN YOUR EYES

YOU ALWAYS SAID

DON'T KNOW ABOUT TOMORROW

BUT WE'VE GOT TONIGHT

COUNTRY MOON SHINING DOWN

SURE FEELS ALRIGHT

COUNTRY MOON

MEMORIES JUST CAN'T DIE
