The Country Lyrics


Van William The Country

[Verse]
I watched my love unwind
How we talked all night of the things we'd find in the country
Smoke waiting on the pier
Where I saw the birds fly every year
They were angling
For the country

[Chorus]
Light of day is saw it falling
Called me up to say that I was only a...

[Verse]
I was only seventeen
I could fold my flag and forget the dream of the country
Slow down my father said
Oh the flashing lights rained in my head
I was angry
For the country

[Verse]
Light of day I saw it falling
You called me up to say that I was only a
Boy I always pay for what I get
Oh you always pay for what you get
Oh they never paid for one thing

[Verse]
I saw the flame burn out
You said nothing ever turns around in the country
Can't take another year
I can hope, but I can't shake this fear
So forget me
For the country

[Chorus]
Dead of night I saw you falling
I tried to make it right but I was only a
Boy, I always pay for what I get
Oh you always pay for what you get
Oh they never paid for one thing

[Verse]
I saw the flame burn out
You said nothing ever turns around in the country
Can't take another year
I can hope, but I can't shake this fear
So forget me
For the country

[Chorus]
Dead of night I saw you falling
I tried to make it right but I was only a
Boy, I always pay for what I get
Oh you always pay for what you get
Oh they never paid for one thing

[Bridge]
They can't take the rhythm from heart
They can't take the rhythm from heart
They can't take the rhythm from heart

[Chorus]
Boy, I always pay for what I get
Oh you always pay for what you get
Oh they never paid for one thing

[Outro]
I watched my love unwind
How we talked all night of the things we'd find in the country
