Country Song Letra

you've spent your whole life running down that country road

getting back in shape and staying close to home

with looks yours, there's no telling how far you'll go



but you turn around when you hit the county line

you're a big fish swimming and it suits you fine

you'll be married here, you'll be buried here in time

it's no surprise



that you left me out there (left me out there)

you left me out there

I make you scream; you make me sing

until I've told you everything



the day you gave me walking papers, well, I took a hike

hitched a new direction on the old turnpike

and I hit the city limits by early light



and I found the things that i'd been searching for

all those just-like minds and those open doors

and I don't think much of the country anymore



since you left me out there (left me out there)

you left me out there

I make you scream; you make me sing

until I've told you everything



well, I know one day I'm gonna come back home

gonna see you walking down that country road

we'll stop and talk, then I'll say I have to go



and you'll bat your lashes and you'll give me a smile

the prettiest thing in a country mile

but I've been thinking in city blocks since the time you were mine



and you left me out there (left me out there)

you left me out there

I make you scream; you make me sing

until I've told you everything
