And poverty could be just another ugly thing
and bigotry would be seen only as obscene
and the ones who run this land
help the poor and common man
this is our country

Our Country ~ John Mellencamp

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Take Me Home Country Roads
John Denver

Oh, I was country when country wasn't cool.





I loved this song when I was younger, because song tastes had come full circle. When I was 12 or 13 the common answer to "what music do you like?" was "anything, but country". It was pure torture, since I couldn't bring myself to lie, and I *loved* country music. By the time I hit 20, country music was popular again thanks to Garth Brooks.

It's a big country

I think the lyrics are right. David and I discussed and are willing to submit.

First, sorry for the length. These lyrics are just too good to cut...

Country Girl - Neil Young
"Winding paths
through tables and glass
First fall was new
Now watch the summer pass
So close to you.

Too late to keep the change,
Too late to pay,
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave.
...
Country girl I think you're pretty,
Got to make you understand,
Have no lovers in the city,
Let me be your country man.
Got to make you understand.

We blew up our tv, threw away our paper
Went to the country, built us a home
Had a lot of children, fed em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own

Spanish Pipedream

But there's one thing they couldn't avoid,
Ladies love country boys
