Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(Richard Jarvis)

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 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.

The whippoorwills sing me to sleep...
