The Big Country - song lyrics

I see the shapes
I remember from maps
I see the shoreline
I see the whitecaps
A baseball diamond
Nice weather down there
I see the school
And the houses where the kids are
Places to park
By the factories and buildings
Restaurants and bars
For later in the evening

Then we come to the farmlands
And the undeveloped areas
And I have learned
How these things work together
I see the parkway
That passes through them all
And I have learned
How to look at these things, and I say

I wouldn't live there if you paid me
I wouldn't live like that, no siree
I wouldn't do the things the way those people do
I wouldn't live there if you paid me to

I guess it's healthy
I guess the air is clean
I guess those people
Have fun with their neighbors and friends
Look at that kitchen
And all of that food
Look at them eat it
I guess it tastes real good

They grow it in those farmlands
Then they bring it to the store
They put it in the car trunk
And they bring it back home, and I say

I wouldn't live there if you paid me
I wouldn't live like that, no siree
I wouldn't do the things the way those people do
I wouldn't live there if you paid me to

I'm tired of looking
Out the window of the airplane
I'm tired of traveling
I want to be somewhere
It's not even worth talking
About those people down there, no

Without a warnin' your out of control The ground shakes and the oceans roll This is the big one There's no where to run On the Richter scale of a romance You hit 12 and you don't stand a chance This is the big one I'm fallin' in love Now it's beep, beep, beep My hearts sendin' out a message Please, please, please Don't save me tonight SOS in this situation means She's out of sight No need to panic I tell myself But i've never felt this feelin' with anybody else So, this is the big one I'm fallin' in love Now it's beep, beep, beep My hearts sendin' out a message Please, please, please Don't save me tonight SOS in this situation means She's out of sight No need to panic I tell myself But i've never felt this feelin' with anybody else So, this is the big one I'm fallin' in love Oh yeah, this is the big one I'm fallin' in love

I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river And I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl Then I heard my dream was back downstream cavortin' in Davenport And I followed you, big river, when she called Oh, she took me to St. Louis later on, down the river A freighter said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone An' I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block Raised a few eyebrows, and went on down alone Well, I pulled into Natchez, next day down the river But there wasn't much there to make the rounders stay very long When I left, it was raining, so nobody saw me crying Big river, why she buried me this way? Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge? River Queen, roll it on Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans Go on, I've had enough Dump my blues down in the gulf She loves you, big river, more than me I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die

I came from the hills with a tear in my eye The winter closed in and the crows filled the sky The houses were burning in flames gold and red The people were running with eyes full of dread Ah my James They didn't have to do this We chased them for miles I had tears in my eyes Through forest and moor as the clouds filled the sky The storm broke upon us with fury and flame Both hunters and hunted washed down in the rain Ah my James They didn't have to do this I know I can never return To the time of hope when I was born Let the strength of peace run through my hand When we walk away from the? stormy shore? Then I will be afraid no more And now I'm sure of where I stand Let the strength of peace run through this land And nobody smiled as we took back our own While rain beat upon us the thunder would moan And nobody smiled when we knew what was lost We knew well enough only time proves the cost Ah my James They didn't have to do this Ah my James They didn't have to do this I know I can never return To the time of hope when I was born Let the strength of peace run through my hand When we walk away from the? stormy shore? Then I will be afraid no more And now I'm sure of where I stand Let the strength of peace run through this land

You can see the bear paws, the old man on his back Prickly pears blue moon in the short and native grass There's a bunch of empty beer cans in an old, loose mineral sack Give you some idea of where you're at Buck brush and sage, far as you can see It's the south slopes of the hills and turns to pines and poplar trees Cattle all a-grazing up and down a big coulee Under Charley Russel skies like a blue and purple sea Cypress hills and the big country below Where life is still, and a man can be alone And you can duck underneath all your trials and troubles for a time Like a pronghorn underneath a bottom wire Cypress hills and the big country below Where life is still, and a man can be alone You can duck underneath all your trials and troubles for a time Like a pronghorn underneath a bottom wire You can sweat and cuss and wonder why They say our west has died When the folks around the cypress hills Still drag calves to the fire
