The country

Met her halfway to Birmingham
Leaving middle Tennessee
Made a speech to say inside my head
Swore that I'd say everything

"I've been giving you my life, and I'm always on time
Four years are enough to decide, whether I'm you're kind."

"And I've been thinkin' bout the country
Thinking bout you and me
I've been thinking where I do belong
And why, you belong with me."

In frustration she had bowed her head
And I could hardly breathe
Reminisced on the times we had
But said that she would have to leave

"It's hard, hard to walk away from you
But we don't live at the same speed
You're gonna make somebody happy
But that someone, ain't me."

"Cause when you're thinking bout the country
You're just trying to be with me
Seasons change the way that we are
And spring changed me."

Met her halfway to Birmingham
Leaving middle Tennessee
Made a speech to say inside my head
Swore that I'd say anything, to keep you here
