Steve Earle - A Country Song Lyrics
A country song left the farmAs the young man marched to warBecame a sound heard clear around the worldFrom a lonely soldiers guitarWho had never been so far beforeFor mom and dad and a special little girlAnd cutting through the quiet like a whistle in the nightA train of memories and even city boys could rideChorus:Mountain high, valley lowProud and strong, a country songMeanwhile cross the waterThe mothers and the daughtersWere working in the defense factoriesAll up and down the lineThe machines and women whinedA country song as blue as the seaThat stretched so far betweenLike the prayers and the dreamsOf the men who where fighting to keep their country freeChorusThough it seemed to take foreverThey were finally back togetherAnd the young men took a restless look aroundcause it seemed the world unfoldedAnd the land just couldnt hold emSo they headed for the cities and the townsThey could feel the homefires glowAs they gathered around the radioTo hear the grand old opry as the weekend rolled aroundChorusTheres a kid out on the highwayWho says hes got some dues to paySo he set out with a guitar and a dreamHe dont look much like a cowboyBut he swears hes gonna make some noiseChange a tune or two in tennesseeThough his hands had never worked the landHis granddad was a railroad manHe sang him jimmie rodgers songs as he sat upon his kneeChorus x 2
