Rick James
Out In The Country
[Intro]
Hmm, hmm
[Verse 1]
As I watch the golden sun
Creep down the mountainside
I turn my face to the wind
To blow away these tears I've cried
Walking down the path
I kicked a stone to release some pain
Thinking back to days when love
Was just like sunshine instead of rain
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't help but wonder
Just how you feel since you've been gone
Is that happy smile you're wearing
All just pretend 'cause you're alone (You're alone)
Ooh
[Chorus]
Out in the country
All alone with my tears
That's where I belong
I don't want no, nobody new there (Out in the country)
(All alone)
I just want, I want you to come back home, baby
Oh, let me tell you what I did, baby (Ooo wah, ooo wah)
[Verse 2]
Ah, Sunday morning
I packed a picnic box for two
Going out to where we used to go
And I'm setting a place for you
Spread out on the blanket
I took a deep breath of fresh air
And it seemed just like old times
The only difference is you're not here
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that it would make more sense
To take somebody else
But I'm only thinking about you
So I'd rather be all by myself, ooh (Myself)
[Chorus]
Uh, out in the country
All alone with my tears
You know that's where I belong
I don't want to find no, nobody there (Out in the country)
(All alone)
I just want, I want you to come back home, baby
Ooh ooh ooh
Come on home
Listen
[Bridge]
Now the sun has set
And the day has turned to night
I guess that I'll just go on home
With my thoughts I'll have to fight
Thoughts of the country
And how our love began
And all the good times that we've shared
Right up to the end
[Pre-Chorus]
And whenever I'm feelin' lonely
And this loneliness turns to gloom
I'll just take my thoughts to the country
Where there's lots of room
[Chorus]
Ooh, out in the country
All alone with my tears
That's where I belong
I don't want to find nobody there (Out in the country)
(All alone)
I just want, I want you to come back home, baby
Out in the country
All alone with my tears
That's where I belong
I don't want to find nobody, no (Out in the country)
