Backstory:
I lived the years in a large city (Los Angeles), which although was exciting at the time, only solidified why I love living in the country.
Lyrics:
Sittin’ by my window, watchin’ raindrops hit the ground
Like starin’ in the face of a woman grievin’
Takes me back to long ago, before we finally settled down
You couldn’t believe that I was leavin’
Give me the wide open country
The sound of children’s laughter in the air
With grass a growin’ high, and tree tops reachin’ to the sky
And country music playin’ everywhere
You grew up metropolis, I was rocky mountain air
I couldn’t ask you to leave, but I couldn’t stay
But loneliness surrounded us, I turned and you were there
You spoke the words you’d always heard me say
Give me the wide open country
The sound of children’s laughter in the air
With grass a growin’ high, and tree tops reachin’ to the sky
And country music playin’ everywhere
Time will burn to ashes, like wood upon a fire
We’ll grow old me lovin’ you, you lovin’ me
And if the good Lord blesses, us with our desire
He’ll grow a few branches on our family tree
Give me the wide open country
The sound of children’s laughter in the air
With grass a growin’ high, and tree tops reachin’ to the sky
And country music playin’ everywhere
Give me the wide open country
The sound of children’s laughter in the air
With grass a growin’ high, and tree tops reachin’ to the sky
And country music playin’ everywhere
