A place in the country that's a place for me
House in the meadow songbirds in the trees
And someone to love me as each new day starts
In a place in the country with a place in a country boy's heart.

But guess I'd better stop dreaming or I'll miss my train
It's six blocks to the subway and it's starting to rain
Got a job in the city but I wasn't too smart
To leave a place in the country and my place in my countryboy's heart.

Just cant' stay in this city I was meant from the start
For a place in the country and a place in my countryboy's heart.

--- Instrumental ---

Just cant' stay in this city I was meant from the start
For a place in the country and a place in my countryboy's heart...
