High In the Country

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Should've been a lawman, dominant hand with a radical creed Should've punched clocks on the piers and the docks makin' concrete I've seen ships down in Savannah let their ivory sails soar I could've gotten used to life it seems [Verse 2] Could've been a doctor livin' in a mansion, rich as I'd be Would've had a fast car, young blonde girlfriend all for free I like to think in some town far away there'd be a man like I am now He would feel that he was losin' touch [Chorus] Lost too much High in the country Where the skies are blue High in the country Where I dream of you [Verse 2] Well I'm down with the devil, I'm down with the saints I'm layin' on thick, fresh coats of paint Take it all back, take it all back, Jack She never loved a damn thing, never lost faith I would die a thousand deaths to end up in her lovin' arms Every chance I had I threw away [Chorus] I spent every day High in the country Where the skies are blue High in the country Where I dream of you [Bridge] Where I dream of you As I dream of you [Chorus] High in the country Where the strong wind blew High in the country Where I dream of you [Outro] Still I dream of you
