The Country

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Schoeck] Drove on up the coast to find her out White lines on the road Dust the wind had scattered all around Where'd her body go? [Verse 2: Schoeck] Left the Midwest, pale and milky skin Burned for leaving town How to piece her memory back again Never to be found [Verse 3: Schoeck] I don't know how to tell the difference no more All these stripes of yellow rays upon my floor Is it the sun or just some headlights shining through my door? Begging me to go [Verse 4: Schoeck & Noble] Tried to leavе the country years ago Concretе in my boots Something about my blood that tells me no Get back to my roots [Verse 5: Ludlow, Schoeck] It's how we only feel the fear before we fall And you don't see the splash from your own cannonball So tell me what's the point in worry, why be lost at all? Even when you're on the road, the road, the road [Bridge: Ludlow, Schoeck] Can you hear my little voice from out so far? Can I ever reach my hands to where you are? All I know is that America will tear you apart I'm begging you to go, to go, to go [Outro: Schoeck] Come home to me, come home to me
