Belong in the country mix2
Promoter trys to get song singing country guy to come into the city to do shows --feel free to do a better production
Having fun after chores are done---if you'd like to do a version of the songs let me know---love to hear it
Story behind the song
Put it together in pieces---seemed like a fun fairy tale
Lyrics
I Belong in the Country (medium waltz beat)
I was load’n my hay when he came passing by
With his fancy red car and his pure silk tie
He said “ I like your songs and I like how you sing”
“But I’d like you to know that you’re missing some things”
“We’d do thirty one cities in thirty one days”
“I’d show you the ropes, I’d show you the ways”
We’d do ads for oil we’d do ads for beer”
“And all I need is your name signed here”
I said “ Thank you for stopp’n but I got all this hay”
“ I got fences to mend and a colt’s on the way”
“My barn roof keeps leakn, if I finish with that”
I’ll clean out the stalls and oil my tack”
Chorus:
I belong in the country and that’s where I belong
Far away from the cities, and the hard press’n throng
I belong in the country, along with my songs
He said “ Whoa just a minute there’s shows to be played”
“There’s women, there’s gold, CD’s to be made”
“And I like your style it really rings true”
“And I’d hope my advice would be taken by you”
I said “I tol you once now but I’ll tell you again”
“My mare’s gotta foal and the colt needs a pen”
“The rails ain’t cut and the post are not set”
“I’m sure rains a commin, no need to get wet”
I belong in the country that’s where I belong
Far away from the cities
And the hard press’n throng
I belong in the country
Along with my songs
Bridge: Now that hard city life would be press’n on me
I see all the glitter but still miss the trees
And I couldn’t breathe deep in that gray smoggy air
And I’d always be wishin, I was still out there
In the countree---eeey (Key change)
Well sir ,loosen your tie and kick off them shoes”
“Hitch these jeans slip into these boots”
“Grab you some oil and pinch of that chew”
“Then rub on this saddle the way that I do”
Now your in the country, and that’s where you belong
Far away from the cities, and the hard pressing throng
Now your in the country, along with my songs (end)
