Skeeter Davis - A Place in the Country

A Place In the Country

A place in the country, that's the place for me
Cows in the meadow, songbirds in the trees
And someone to love me as each new day starts
In a place in the country, with a place in a country boy's heart

But guess I'd better stop dreaming or I'll miss my train
It's six blocks to the subway and it's starting to rain
Got a job in the city but I wasn't too smart
To leave a place in the country and my place in my countryboy's heart

Just cant' stay in this city, I was meant from the start
For a place in the country and a place in my countryboy's heart
