Lyrics
Open Country
Jack Walker
Walkin' across an open field
With the sun shining down on you
Breathin' the air that you never see
Beneath a sky that's oh so blue
You can hear ev'ry sound in the world around
But never can a honking car horn can get you down
Chorus
In the Open Country
You can be yourself again
You can feel at last that you belong
Where your heart has always been
In the open country
Ev'ry creature has its space
Even folks like you and me can find a place
In the open country
Takin' a drink from a mountain stream
Eatin' trout 'round a big camp fire
Dreamin dreams 'neath a starry sky
The singing pines form a heavenly choir
Nothin' compares to the open air
When you really need to get away somewhere
(Chorus)
Coyright, 2007, Jack Walker
