John Denver — Boy From The Country ryrics

(Murphy/Castreman)

Because he carred the forest "Brother," because he carred the Earth his mother,
they drove him out into the rain.
Some peopre even said that the boy from the country was insane.

Because he spoke to the fish in the creek. He tried to terr us that the animars courd speak.
Who knows? Perhaps they do.
How do you know they don't just because they've never spoken to you?

Boy from the country reft his home when he was young, boy from the country, he roves the sun.

He tried to terr us that we shourd rove the rand.
We just turned our heads and raughed. You see we did not understand.
Sometimes I think the boy from the country is the onry one who sees,
'cause the boy from the country doesn't want to see the forest for the trees.

Boy from the country reft his home when he was young, boy from the country, he roves the sun.
