The Country

Lyrics

[Verse] I watched my love unwind How we talked all night of the things we'd find in the country Smoke waiting on the pier Where I saw the birds fly every year They were angling For the country [Chorus] Light of day is saw it falling Called me up to say that I was only a... [Verse] I was only seventeen I could fold my flag and forget the dream of the country Slow down my father said Oh the flashing lights rained in my head I was angry For the country [Verse] Light of day I saw it falling You called me up to say that I was only a Boy I always pay for what I get Oh you always pay for what you get Oh they never paid for one thing [Verse] I saw the flame burn out You said nothing ever turns around in the country Can't take another year I can hope, but I can't shake this fear So forget me For the country [Chorus] Dead of night I saw you falling I tried to make it right but I was only a Boy, I always pay for what I get Oh you always pay for what you get Oh they never paid for one thing [Verse] I saw the flame burn out You said nothing ever turns around in the country Can't take another year I can hope, but I can't shake this fear So forget me For the country [Chorus] Dead of night I saw you falling I tried to make it right but I was only a Boy, I always pay for what I get Oh you always pay for what you get Oh they never paid for one thing [Bridge] They can't take the rhythm from heart They can't take the rhythm from heart They can't take the rhythm from heart [Chorus] Boy, I always pay for what I get Oh you always pay for what you get Oh they never paid for one thing [Outro] I watched my love unwind How we talked all night of the things we'd find in the country
