Roy Acuff - Back In The Country lyrics

When was the last time You got up before the sun And watched while the night and day Melted into one? When was the last time You really looked at rain Dripping down the gutter Splashing on the window-pane? My fondest memories Are tied around these things Sunday school, bedtime rules Grandma's squeaky swing Sneaking out behind the barn My love would meet me there Tripping in the hallway Over Grandpa's rocking chair Back in the country Now I know you're gonna say Back in the country Don't you wish that you had stayed Back in the country Where the roses still grow wild Back in the country Where you walked those country miles When was the last time You saw sundown through a tree Sitting on the front porch In a cool evenin' breeze When was the last time That you heard a Bobwhite song When was the last time I'll bet it's been too long Back in the country Now I know you're gonna say Back in the country Don't you wish that you had stayed Back in the country Where the roses still grow wild Back in the country Where you walked those country miles
