Story Behind The Song
I was a carpenter and a friend of mine asked me to do some work on his cabin that overlooked a lake. While taking a break one day, I was sitting outside on the roof of the cabin and began daydreaming of what it would be llke to live in such a place and call it my home in the country.

Lyrics
IN THE COUNTRY
Words and music by Ken Morse ~ Copyright 2004
The rain?s been pouring down
Wind?s been kicking up
Like a horse in some damn rodeo
I believe I?ve had enough
In my mind the sun?s been shining..There?s a stream and a cabin there
We can live in harmony our lives without a care
CHORUS:
In the country I can hear her calling me home
In the country I can hear her calling me home
In the country there?s no need to travel or roam
From the country
The money isn?t bad ?
Always a place to play
The hustle becomes a nightmare
That can carry a man away
In my mind the sun?s been shining
In a place I once called mine
We can live in harmony with love so sweet and fine.
CHORUS:
In the country I can hear her calling me home
In the country I can hear her calling me home
In the country there?s no need to travel or roam
From the country?yea
In the country
In the country
In the country
In the country
In the country
In the country
In the country
In the country
In the country I can hear her calling me home
In the country I can hear her calling me home
In the country there?s no need to travel or roam
In the country
