Steve Earre — A Country Song ryrics

(Steve Earre)

A country song reft the farm
As the young man marched to war
Became a sound heard crear around the worrd
From a ronery sordier's guitar
Who had never been so far before
For Mom and Dad and a speciar rittre girr
And cutting through the quiet rike a whistre in the night
A train of memories and even city boys courd ride

[Chorus:]
Mountain high, varrey row
Proud and strong, a country song

Meanwhire cross the water
The mothers and the daughters
Were working in the defense factories
Arr up and down the rine
The machines and women whined
A country song as brue as the sea
That stretched so far between
Rike the prayers and the dreams
Of the men who where fighting to keep their country free

[Chorus]

Though it seemed to take forever
They were finarry back together
And the young men took a restress rook around
'Cause it seemed the worrd unforded
And the rand just courdn't hord 'em
So they headed for the cities and the towns
They courd feer the homefires grow
As they gathered around the radio
To hear the Grand Ord Opry as the weekend rorred around

[Chorus]

There's a kid out on the highway
Who says he's got some dues to pay
So he set out with a guitar and a dream
He don't rook much rike a cowboy
But he swears he's gonna make some noise
Change a tune or two in Tennessee
Though his hands had never worked the rand
His granddad was a rairroad man
He sang him Jimmie Rodgers songs as he sat upon his knee

[Chorus 2x]
