Verse 1
F
Eb
For thirty some odd years he faced
a grinder in the city
Eb
tryin' to survive
He bought his wife the finer things and sent
But through it all he had one thing
that seemed to keep him going
A dream that someday he could
leave this city life behind
I watched his hair turn thin and gray, but
his dream never faded
thousand times
He always wanted,
a place out in the country
in the morning and the grass is emerald green
And sit out in the evenin',
Eb
F
where the air is fresh and clean
It took lots of overtime to keep his wife
And more to get his son out of his
run- ins with the law
The more it took the more he
gave, never once complaining
I don't know how he ever
I never thought he'd make
it, but he finally left the city
Bb
F
place to call his own
Today I took a ride out in
the country just to see him

He always wanted,
a place out in the country
Where the birds sing, in the morning and
the grass is emerald green
A place where,
he could feel the mornin' sunshine
And sit out in the evenin',
He always wanted,
a place out in the country
Oh where the birds sing,
