Country Song

He got home at dusk

He’d been out of town

Spun her ‘cross the floor

Said, “Try to keep me down.”

And Jackie, you recall

I like to hear some soul

The sun begins to fade

The day is growing old

So play that country song

The one I used to know

Play a country song

The day is growing old

And if you play the song

The one I long to hear

Then I will sing along

As long as you are near

She poured out the tea

Said, “I think you got wrong.”

I’ve married up a fool

But he’s fool enough for me

And if you do recall

I listen, too, sometime

The day begins again

When you are next to mine

So play that country song

The one I used to know

Play a country song

The day is growing old

And if you play the song

The one I long to hear

Then I will sing along

As long as you are near

And I will sing along

Long as you are near
