Skeeter Davis - A Place in the Country lyrics

rate me

(Cindy Walker)

A place in the country that's a place for me

House in the meadow songbirds in the trees

And someone to love me as each new day starts

In a place in the country with a place in a country boy's heart.

But guess I'd better stop dreaming or I'll miss my train

It's six blocks to the subway and it's starting to rain

Got a job in the city but I wasn't too smart

To leave a place in the country and my place in my countryboy's heart.

Just cant' stay in this city I was meant from the start

For a place in the country and a place in my countryboy's heart.

--- Instrumental ---

Just cant' stay in this city I was meant from the start

For a place in the country and a place in my countryboy's heart...
