I can see the sadness in your eyes knowing that I'm going to leave   If I told you the reason you'd never understand cause the truth you never could see   So I'm goin' back to the country roads back where the tall corn grows   Back where the stream is running free   Back where the air is clear back where I can hear the whippoorwills sing me to sleep      I've enjoyed the sweetness of your smile   And your soft touch that warms me when I'm cold   If you want me you can find me look down that country road   I'll be walking and looking for my soul   So I'm goin' back...   The whippoorwills sing me to sleep
