High In the Country

Should've been a lawman, diamond in hand with a radical creed Should've punched clocks on the beers and the docks makin' concrete I've seen ships down in Savannah left their ivory sails soar I could've gotten used to life it seems Could've been a doctor livin' in a mansion, rich as I'd be Could've had a fast car, young blonde girlfriend all for free I like to think in some town far away there'd be a man like I am now He would feel that he was losin' touch, lost too much High in the country Where the skies are blue High in the country Where I dream of you Well I'm down with the devil, I'm down with the saints I'm layin' on thick, fresh coats of paint Take it all back, take it all back, Jack She never loved a damn thing, never lost faith I would die a thousand deaths to end up in her lovin' arms Every chance I had I threw away, I spent everyday High in the country Where the skies are blue High in the country Where I dream of you Where I dream of you As I dream of you High in the country Where the strong wind blew High in the country Where I dream of you Still I dream of you
