A Country Song

<br>A country song left the farm<br><br>As the young man marched to war<br><br>Became a sound heard clear around the world<br><br>From a lonely soldiers guitar<br><br>Who had never been so far before<br><br>For mom and dad and a special little girl<br><br>And cutting through the quiet like a whistle in the night<br><br>A train of memories and even city boys could ride<br><br><br><br>Chorus:<br><br>Mountain high, valley low<br><br>Proud and strong, a country song<br><br><br><br>Meanwhile cross the water<br><br>The mothers and the daughters<br><br>Were working in the defense factories<br><br>All up and down the line<br><br>The machines and women whined<br><br>A country song as blue as the sea<br><br>That stretched so far between<br><br>Like the prayers and the dreams<br><br>Of the men who where fighting to keep their country free<br><br><br><br>Chorus<br><br><br><br>Though it seemed to take forever<br><br>They were finally back together<br><br>And the young men took a restless look around<br><br>cause it seemed the world unfolded<br><br>And the land just couldnt hold em<br><br>So they headed for the cities and the towns<br><br>They could feel the homefires glow<br><br>As they gathered around the radio<br><br>To hear the grand old opry as the weekend rolled around<br><br><br><br>Chorus<br><br><br><br>Theres a kid out on the highway<br><br>Who says hes got some dues to pay<br><br>So he set out with a guitar and a dream<br><br>He dont look much like a cowboy<br><br>But he swears hes gonna make some noise<br><br>Change a tune or two in tennessee<br><br>Though his hands had never worked the land<br><br>His granddad was a railroad man<br><br>He sang him jimmie rodgers songs as he sat upon his knee<br><br><br><br>Chorus x 2
