Frank Zaruba - Country State Of Mind
I WAS JUST A FRECKLED FACED BOY OF TEN
WITH AN OLD CANE POLE AND A STRINGER OF BREAM
IT WAS JUST DADDY'S LITTLE MAN AND HIM
AGAINST THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
WHEN HIS HARD DAY'S WORK AT THE PLANT WAS
THROUGH
HE ALWAYS FOUND TIME JUST TO TOSS A FEW
THE SMELL OF MAMA'S FRIED CHICKEN WAS OUR CUE
AND HE'D RACE ME ALL THE WAY
WHAT I'D GIVE IF ONLY SOMEHOW
I COULD JUST GO BACK IN TIME
AND WALK THAT OLD DIRT ROAD AND
FEEL THE WIND RUSH THROUGH THE PINES
THERE'LL ALWAYS BE A PART OF ME THERE
THAT I LEFT BEHIND
BUT, EVERY NOW AND THEN I STILL GO BACK AND I FIND
MY COUNTRY STATE OF MIND
WE'D GATHER AFTER SUPPER MOST SATURDAY NIGHTS
PICKIN' AND A'SINGIN' 'NEATH THE FRONT PORCH LIGHT
DADDY'D DO ELVIS TO MAMA'S DELIGHT
THEN WE'D ALL SING AMAZING GRACE
NOW THE YEARS HAVE FLOWN BY AND I'M FULL GROWN
I'VE GOT A BEAUTIFUL WIFE AND A BOY OF MY OWN
THIS BIG CITY LIVIN' WILL NEVER BE HOME
I HEAR THE COUNTRY CALLIN' ME
WHAT I'D GIVE IF ONLY SOMEHOW
I COULD JUST GO BACK IN TIME
AND RUN THAT SIDEWALK PONY
DOWN AT WOOLWORTH'S FIVE AND DIME
THERE'LL ALWAYS BE A PART OF ME THERE
THAT I LEFT BEHIND
BUT, EVERY NOW AND THEN I STILL GO BACK AND I FIND
MY COUNTRY STATE OF MIND
WITH AN OLD CANE POLE AND A STRINGER OF BREAM
IT WAS JUST DADDY'S LITTLE MAN AND HIM
