[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 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 pretend 'cause you're alone, oh oh oh (You're alone, you're alone)

[Chorus]
Out in the country (Out in the country)
All alone with my tears (All alone)
That's where I belong
I don't want to meet nobody new (Out in the country)
(All alone)
I just want you to come on home
(Ooo wah, ooo wah)

[Verse 2]
Ah, Sunday morning
I packed a picnic lunch for two
Goin' out where we used to go
And I'm saving a place for you, mm
Spread out on the blanket
I took a deep breath of fresh air
And it seemed just like old times
Only difference is you're not here
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know that it would make more sense
To take somebody else
But I'm only thinking about you
So I'd rather be by myself (Rather be by myself)

[Chorus]
Ooh, out in the country (Out in the country)
All alone with my tears (All alone)
That's where I belong
I don't want to meet nobody new (Out in the country)
(All alone)
I just want you to come on home

Ooh ooh ooh
Oh baby, come on home
Oh, girl
Oh, oh oh

[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 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 take my thoughts out in the country
Where there's lots of room (Where there's room I can think of you)

[Chorus]
Ooh, out in the country (Out in the country)
Oh oh oh (All alone)
Out in the country
That's where I belong (Out in the country)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (All alone)
I don't wanna meet nobody new

(Out in the country)
I just wanna be left alone (All alone)
