Found on Human Nature.



Touched by a butterfly on my way home

Flying who knows where

Walking down that dusty road

Without a care



The sun was shining up in the country

And bells were ringing downtown

Clouds were moving slow and lazy

While I was kicking around



And feeling out the town and the country

Feeling out the town and the country



Up on the hill I got a better look

I watched the river run brown (watched the river run brown)

And then I heard those songbirds singing

The country sound



When I got home I sat in my kitchen

And turned the television on (turned the TV on)

The news wasn't good so I didn't listen

I started clicking around



Thinking of the town and the country

I was thinking of the town and the country



Thinking of the town and the country



In the morning everything will be the same

Open up your world (watch the children play)

In the sun or rain



Thinking of the town and the country

A thinking of the town and the country



I was thinking of the town and the country (fade)
