Country for Sale
In a world obsessed with fast cars, Concrete and condos
Take me back to the sweet simple life
A place where a field grows in soft summer shine
To look out the window at mountains and forest
Ahh just to be there , somewhere where a soft breeze blows
Somewhere a Bird soars high on the wing
Yes the country life is just what it is
Not rushing and tooing for someone else's biz
To ride on an old dirt road caressed by tall trees
To the song loud of real birds and bees
In dappled light we picnicked by a stream
Then we lay beneath the old oak...ah just to dream
I remember the old farm nestled in the hills
The call of the wild...chorused by whip o wills
Soft brown rabbits that bobbed in the dell
Fresh cool clear water that was drawn from dads well
Little white lambs that frolicked on green hillsides
Sweet smelling haystacks that peppered the fields
Many of the farms have now gone by the way
And even in the country much has gone a stray
Farms are now managed and families are gone
Battery hens and Concentrated Pig farming practices are strong
Money has become obsession and spoiling the view
Sadly the animals have become a commodity stew
Just take me back to when real life was new
And free running animals we all had a few
Lambs would frolic and pigs would ponder
And look out in the paddock at the cattle over yonder
Chooks they roamed free...joyous gleeful sounds
So much vibrant life and happiness abounds
Yes take me back to the country when true freedom was around...
