by Sunny Waters

Born in the city
Raised on the farm
Where the sunset sure is pretty
And the fire's nice and warm
The city lights they blind me
Flashing neon signs
I leave it all behind me
I love starry skies

And I find some peace of mind out in the country
Everything I see is a part of me
A place where I can work and raise a family
A place where I can breathe and be free

It's another golden sunrise
Another sunny day
Children in the school yard
I love to watch 'em play
Papa tends the wheat field
He's always up at dawn
Mamma feeds the ponies
And helps me with the lawn

And I find some peace of mind out in the country
Everything I see is a part of me
A place where I can work and raise a family
A place where I can breathe and be free

And I have to tell you now
What a lucky man I am
To have witnessed all the beauty
And the pleasures of the land
And I hope I'm still around to see
The children come to know
All the love and hope and happiness
And the promise of a rainbow
