Got to move out into the country Hop onto a merry go round Listen to the birds sing Pick some flowers outta the ground Wake up in the mornin feel in good Grandpas in the backyard chopping wood Ooooooooooh oh oh ohhhhhh Out in the country

I take a ride out in the country Get some wind in my hair Let it all go Like I ain't got a care, mm-hm I take a ride out in the country In the soft summer breeze Forgetting about you Forgetting about me, mm-hm Falling out of love with you Was not an easy thing to do But you don't care about me, baby Runnin' here is all I know The country satisfies my soul When I think I'm goin' crazy I take a ride out in the country It's all I can do Where the whippoorwill sings A song so blue, mm-hm Falling out of love with you Was not an easy thing to do But you don't care about me, baby Running here is all I know The country satisfies my soul When I think I'm goin' crazy I take a ride out in the country In the soft summer breeze Forgetting about you Forgetting about me, mm-hm

There's an old rural route two-lane Take it out past where the radio just can't Past the river bridge with a rope swing And a mailbox painted all John Deere green The end of a bunch of gravel driveway Out here doing our own thing Out in the middle where the hard work meets hard living Out in the middle where we're grown 'til we're gone, God willing Just some good old boys and good old girls Hunting red dirt dreams in a concrete world Getting by on just a little Out in the middle Come Friday, we come undone Stay half-lit like the high life neon Barely hanging on like sheds in the pole barn You can hear Hank clear 'cross the next farm City folk say we're crazy But they ain't never been way Out in the middle where the hard work meets hard living Out in the middle where we're grown 'til we're gone, God willing Just some good old boys and good old girls Hunting red dirt dreams in a concrete world Getting by on just a little Out in the middle of nowhere, that's where I wanna be In the old oak shade by the family graves With the southern ground on me Out in the middle where the hard work meets hard living Out in the middle where we're grown 'til we're gone, God willing Just some good old boys and good old girls Hunting red dirt dreams in a concrete world Getting by on just a little Out in the middle

There's no looking for me girl If I don't want me to be found 'Cause I've been hiding for a lifetime girl But that's all changed since you've been around Out in the blue is where I've been I kept my feelings deep within My heart was covered up by scars From out in the blue you've brought me back You have everything I lack Now I like the way things are I change the habits of a lifetime girl Just lose the old and start anew And find direction straight down girl Stop the lies and face the truth Out in the blue is where I've been I kept my feelings deep within My heart was covered up by scars From out in the blue you've brought me back You have everything I lack Now I like the way things are I'm looking forward to what's coming now I'm ready for life's ups and downs And facing up to what life has in store And it's easier with you around Out in the blue is where I've been I kept my feelings deep within My heart was covered up by scars From out in the blue you've brought me back You have everything I lack Now I like the way things are The way things are...

I can hear you callin', callin' my name out loud. Know that makes me wonder; used to be so proud. Sudden realization goin' need me now, that's why. I can hear you callin' me and so I'm tellin' you goodbye. Don't expect no answer I'm tellin' you goodbye. I can hear you callin'. We can't get together, think you're just too good. You can keep on callin' me till it's understood. Yeah. You got to learn the hard way, I think you know it's true. You got to get to get to get what you got comin', I know it's true. Don't call out you're sorry, there's nothing I can do. I can hear you callin'. I can hear you callin'. I can hear you callin', I know that's all right. You can keep on callin' me till you see the light. I don't need aggravation you've given me all along. You, you do all the taking somehow I think that's all wrong. Call me if you want to, realize that I'm gone. I can hear you callin'. I can hear you callin'. I can hear you callin'. I can hear you callin'. I can hear you callin'. I can hear you callin'. I can hear you callin'.
