For thirty some odd years he faced a grinder in the city Hustlin' day in day out just tryin' to survive He bought his wife the finer things and sent his kids to collage That always took what little bit he tried to put aside But through it all he had one thing that seemed to keep him going A dream that someday he could leave this city life behind I watched his hair turn thin and gray, but his dream never faded He told me all about it, at least a thousand times He always wanted, a place out in the country Where the birds sing, in the morning and the grass is emerald green A place where, he could feel the mornin' sunshine And sit out in the evenin', where the air is fresh and clean It took lots of overtime to keep his wife up with the Jonses And more to get his son out of his run-ins with the law The more it took the more he gave, never once complaining I don't know how he ever stood the pressure of it all I never thought he'd make it, but he finally left the city And now he's got that special little place to call his own Today I took a ride out in the country just to see him It wasn't hard to find because his name was on the stone He always wanted, a place out in the country Where the birds sing, in the morning and the grass is emerald green A place where, he could feel the mornin' sunshine And sit out in the evenin', where the air is fresh and clean He always wanted, a place out in the country Oh where the birds sing, in the morning and the grass is emerald green

Like a long lonely stream, I keep on runnin' t'wards a dream; Movin' on, movin' on. Like a branch on a tree, I keep reachin' to be free; Movin on, movin' on. 'Cause there's a place in the sun Where there's hope, hope for every one; Where my poor restless heart it's gotta run. There's a place in the sun And before my life is done; I've gotta find me a place in the sun. Like an old dusty road I get weary from the load; Movin' on, movin' on. Like this tired, tired troubled earth I've been rollin' since my birth; Movin' on, movin' on. (Spoken) Yea now sing it again!

How many roads Must a man walk down Before they call him a man? How many seas Must a white dove sail Before she can sleep in the sand? And how many times Must the cannonballs fly Before they're ever banned? The answer, my friends Is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind How many years Must a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea? And how many years Can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? How many times Can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see? The answer, my friends Is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind How many times Must a man look up Before he can see the sky? How many ears Must one man have Before he can hear people cry? And how many deaths Will it takes till he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friends Is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind The answer, my friend Is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind
