Out in the Country.....




Out In The Country

Whenever I need to leave it all behind
Or feel the need to get away
I find a quiet place, far from the human race
Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Whenever I feel them closing in on me
Or need a bit of room to move
When life becomes too fast, I find relief at last
Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime...

I stand alone...

My friend Mary does wonderful things with 
her regular posts "Mosaic Monday"
they are filled with 
imagination,
love,
a creative eye,
thoughtfulness,
and 
a quiet observance of what
makes this world special.....
This week,
her work reminded me of this song...
one of my favorites from the 70's.

It brings back those carefree summers
that I spent in my teen years
lifeguarding at one of the local 
pools......
acquiring a tan,
reading trashy novels,
laughing with friends,
and 
of course,
blowing that whistle!
smiles.

  1. Not the point of the post, but one of my favorite songs of all time was done by "Three Dog Night" - it's called "Pieces of April".

    There's no place like out in the country...except maybe the ocean shore, off season. :)
