Country Sounds from Greatest Hits by Forrest Cooper

Country Sounds (c)

Out on the wide open prairies of the midwestern plains
Or the high, high mountains of the Rocky range
There’s a wind that sighs, that speaks right to my soul.
I am on my way to a new horizon
Travelin’ on the ground but my heart is flyin’
Those bright lights are gone,
You can hear the bullfrogs roar!

And it’s the sound of a light rain fallin’
The sound of a whippoorwill callin’
And the sound of a wind that’s knockin’ at my door.
The city’s no place for a country boy
I’ll take a four-wheel drive over any Rolls Royce
‘Cause it’s a good, good life and the country is calling me home.

I’m always in a hurry to be moving along,
Never slowing down pretending nothing’s wrong
‘Cause life is short, and you do what you gotta do
I am tired of running from hither and yon
Think I’ll pack my bags and be traveling on
To a place in my mind,
A place that always gets me through.

And it’s the sound of a light rain fallin’
The sound of a whippoorwill callin’
And the sound of a wind that’s knockin’ at my door.
The city’s no place for a country boy
I’ll take a four-wheel drive over any Rolls Royce
‘Cause it’s a good, good life and the country is calling me home.

The sound of a light rain falling
The sound of a whippoorwill calling
The sound of a light rain falling
