Country State of Mind

Doin? My Best Just to Make it in this big ole city
The more I look the more I seem to find
Yes the girls are quite civilized and
Yes they?re pretty
And Lord knows I don?t mean to be unkind
I guess I?m in a Country, a
Country State of Mind
I miss your warm and tender resistance
When I?d go to put my arms around you
I miss those cows out lowing in the distance
The wet smell of that misty morning dew
Yes I?m in a Country, a
Country State of Mind
Hand in hand, across that old farm together
Check if natures been too unkind
I miss your high sweet harmony
And the way you?d look up at me
When we?d sing ?Blest be the ties that bind?
Watchin you nurse a lamb back to life
Lovin you my dear (departed) wife
When we were down and sad
And times were looking mighty bad
You were the best friend I ever had
Maybe some day I?ll run far enough
And fast enough
To leave all these memories behind
But when I let down my guard
They still tear me apart
And it looks like they?ve found me once again
Cause I?m in a Country
A Country State of Mind
