Back in the Country Lyrics

When was the last time

You got up before the sun

And watched while the night and day

Melted into one?

When was the last time

You really looked at rain

Dripping down the gutter

Splashing on the window-pane?

My fondest memories

Are tied around these things

Sunday school, bedtime rules

Grandma's squeaky swing

Sneaking out behind the barn

My love would meet me there

Tripping in the hallway

Over Grandpa's rocking chair

Back in the country

Now I know you're gonna say

Back in the country

Don't you wish that you had stayed

Back in the country

Where the roses still grow wild

Back in the country

Where you walked those country miles

When was the last time

You saw sundown through a tree

Sitting on the front porch

In a cool evenin' breeze

When was the last time

That you heard a Bobwhite song

When was the last time

I'll bet it's been too long

Back in the country

Now I know you're gonna say

Back in the country

Don't you wish that you had stayed

Back in the country

Where the roses still grow wild

Back in the country

Where you walked those country miles
