"Country Road"

Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name?

Your way and my way seem to be one and the same

Mama don't understand it

She wants to know where I've been

I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool

To want to pass that way again

But you know I could feel it

On a country road

Sail on home to Jesus, won't you, good girls and boys?

I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice

But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels

And they're coming to set me free

I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when

But I can tell you that it's bound to be

Because I could feel it, child, yeah

On a country road

I guess my feet know where they want me to go

Walking on a country road, yeah

Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name?

Your way and my way seem to be one and the same, child

Mama don't understand it

She wants to know where I've been

I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool

To want to pass that way again

But I could feel it, Lord

On a country road

Walk on down, walk on down

Walk on down, walk on down

Walk on down a country road

Country road, oh, yeah

Walking on a country road

Country road

Country road
