I'm from the Country - Tracy Byrd

When I'm away from you I can't stay still My body won't move from the way I feel It happens time and time again And the circle never ends When I'm away from you It hurts to say My senses gone from far away I'm up all through the night And I can't tell wrong from right When I'm away from you I see great big clouds And All along the rain They seem to be so blue Every night I'm missing you When I'm away from you Well the sun don't shine The moon don't come And the words don't rhyme When I'm away from you I can't let go, you know, oh you know It's all the things you do that make life worthwhile Like the way you talk and the way you smile It's all the things you do Keep me hanging on, and you know Oh you know When I'm away from you Well the wine won't float The tides don't turn And the wind'll blow I'm up all through the night And I can't tell wrong from right When I'm away from you Well the sun don't shine And the moon don't come And the words don't rhyme When I'm away from you I can't let go, and you know Oh you know It's all the things you do That make life worthwhile Like the way you talk and the way you smile It's all the things you do Keep me hanging on and you know Oh you know When I'm away from you Well I can't stay still My thoughts wont move From the way I feel It happens time and time again And the circle never ends When I'm away from you Well the sun don't shine And the moon don't come And the words don't rhyme When I'm away from you I can't let go and you know Oh you know It's all the things you do That make life worthwhile Like the way you talk and the way you smile It's all the things you do Keep me hanging on and you know Oh you know When I'm away from you Well the sun don't shine And the moon don't come And the words don't rhyme When I'm away from you I can't let go and you know Oh you know

I got rid of the shackles that bound me and the guards that were always around me There were tears on the mail mother wrote me in jail But I'm free from the chain gang now All the years I was known and respected till one day I was wrongly suspected I was shackled in chains in a cold freezin' rain but I'm free from the chain gang now All the years I was known by a number how I kept my mind is a wonder But like a bird in a tree I got my liberty and I'm free from the chain gang now I got rid of the shackles that bound me and the guards that were always around me There were tears on the mail mother sent me in jail But I'm free from the chain gang now There were tears on the mail mother sent me in jail But I'm free from the chain gang now.
