Where the pace is slow
Where everyone is not in a hurry to go

Where there is nothing like the smell of fresh cut hay
Where something that simple will make your day

Where everyone on the highway waves
Where the country store is the place to go
Where everyone knows the difference in a buck and doe

Where your time is spent fishing
Not setting around wishing

Where there is a country fair
Where Grandpa and Grandma set on the porch
in their favorite chairs

Where you can see and try counting the stars
Not spending all night in the bars

Where neighbor looks after neighbor
Where they put up a barn and share the labor

Where the garden is your farmers market

Where everyone drives a truck
Where when you get stuck in the mud it does not ****

Where the roosters crow
The rivers flow
Where the banks want foreclose

Where the chickens are free range
That will never change

Where you still hand milk the cow
and the dinner table is always full of country chow

I love the country life
!!
