Lyrics
A DAY IN THE COUNTRY
Sunday morning, I got up yawning, I reached down for my radio
A friendly DJ is asking me to tune to his show.
I grabbed a shower, picked up my lady, we're heading for a shady tree,
Where I can relax and let my thoughts run free.
Cause when you hit the open road, you shake off the overload,
You let your thoughts run free on a day
In the country, a day in the country, a day in the country.
The birds are singing, the air is humming, with the sound of a bubbling stream,
We raise a glass and propose a toast to this great scene.
Cause when you see the world like this, in this natural, peaceful bliss,
You wish you always could be on a day in the country
Cause when you hit the open road, you shake off the overload,
You wish you always could be on a day
The sun is dipping, the night is coming, we pack our lives back in the trunk,
The mood was rising all day, but now it's sunk.
We're heading back into the city, the traffic gridlock don't leave no doubt,
The country life is the only life worth dreaming about.
