Kurt Johnston - Edge Of The Country 2

Well, I use to go down to the highway
And, watch the cars go by
People going from city to city
So, I thought I'd give it a try

Now, I've been where they come from
It's no place for me
Concrete and traffic
As far as the eye can see

I came home to the country
To put my roots back down
Vowed I'd live and die here
On this fertile ground

Now, I'm living on the Edge of the Country
The country so wild and free
I'm living on the Edge of the Country
And, the city's moving in on me

Now, they're building so many houses
One can't count them all
And, in my neighbors' cornfield
They're putting up another mall
They say they like the animals
But, they can't stand that smell
You better chain your dog
And, for Gods sake
Don't drink from your well

Now, if you listen carefully
To what they talk about
Now, that they got their piece of the country
They want to keep the others out

Now, I'm living on the Edge of the Country
The country so wild and free
I'm living on the Edge of the Country
And, the city's moving in on me

I'm living on the Edge of the Country
The country so wild and free
I'm living on the Edge of the Country
And, the city's moving in on me

The city's moving in on me
