Lyrics
County Line
Verse I
A good friend of mine,
Set out for L.A.
The day he turned eighteen,
He had a hundred bucks, an eighty-six Honda and some big dreams,
Now these days,
He?s a real estate broker selling mansions in Beverly Hills,
Says I could make a million dollars if I?d come to California,
But he knows what I?ll say to him.
Chorus
If the fish weren?t biting down at Ferguson?s pond
And that girl didn?t love me half as much as she does,
And momma didn?t make the best chicken around,
I might plant my feet on some different ground,
I admit sometimes, I catch myself dreaming,
And every time I do I find,
Everything I dream is here waiting for me,
On this side
Of the county line
Verse II
I had a strange dream,
An angel came to fetch me,
Take me to that home on high
She had white wings, she took me by the hand and looked me in the eye,
She said soon son,
You?ll have peace everlasting beyond your wildest dreams,
But I woke up from sleeping before I could tell her,
I wasn?t ready to leave
Chorus
Cause the fish are really biting down at Ferguson pond,
And that woman and I are too much in love,
Momma?s holding dinner and I can?t be late,
So for now I can?t walk through those pearly gates,
But I hope someday I find myself in Glory,
Cross over into paradise,
Till then I?ll live here in my little slice of heaven,
On this side,
Of the county line.
Of the county line,
Of the county line
Of the county line
Bridge
There are a million places I may never see,
But everything I love?s right here,
Why I want to leave
Chorus
When the fish are really biting down at Ferguson pond,
And that woman and I are too much in love,
Momma?s holding dinner and I can?t be late,
Everyone I ever loved is here anyway,
I admit sometimes, I?ll catch myself dreaming,
And every time I do I find,
Everything I dream is here waiting for me,
On this side
Of the county line
