lyrics

Out in the Country

Someone tell the old folks that it’s raining
Someone tell them roses always die
Wild ones make their name
With the power of their shame
Holding on just long enough to cry

It’s good to be out in the country
Feel those golden hills beneath my spine
Pin my hopes to the sky and watch my worries fly
To the concrete home where they belong

Living face to face ain’t no picnic
Living back to back’s like a duel
If you think that’s living, you got a lot to learn
I’m glad I don’t need to be back in school

It’s good to be out in the country
Feel those golden hills beneath my spine
Pin my hopes to the sky and watch my worries fly
To the concrete home where they belong

Old enough to carry every mountain
Young enough to rage against the sea
Always out of range of the sorrow and the pain
Dying every moment to be free
