Country Life in America

I got clean from the bottle, bottoming out
I still don't know what this song is about

But I didn't get very far from here
Now I can't make it all disappear

Cut it in the morning, clean it at night
Let them know everything is alright

Suddenly turned into stone
The receiver covered on the phone

Yeah I feel it getting louder
Feel it getting louder
Feel it in the words that I sing
I feel it getting louder
I feel it getting louder
But I just can't hear a thing
No I just can't hear a thing

Rolling with the punches, telling the truth
Wonder what'll happen behind the booth

Cooking in the cosmic rays
Soaking California Days

Messing with the volume, tweaking the tone
Out on the island and dreaming of home

But I know I can't get back there
I'll talk about that in a pair

Yeah I feel it getting louder
Feel it getting louder
Feel it in the words that I sing
I feel it getting louder
I feel it getting louder
But I just can't hear a thing
No I just can't hear a thing

Don't worry kid, you'll find your way
Every night'll step out the way for the day

I wish someone told me way back there
When I was breathing in the evening air

There, but for the grace of God, go I
Hydrangeas, amaryllis, ranunculi

And lilacs and columbines
Crocus and dandelions

Yeah I feel it getting louder
Feel it getting louder
Feel it in the words that I sing
I feel it getting louder
I feel it getting louder
But I still can't hear a thing
No I still can't hear a thing
