This Country Road

Oh gather 'round let the country soul speak In the quiet of the morning where the faith runs deep Down by the creek under a willow tree I find my peace where the waters agree The sun paints the sky with a golden brush In God's own country in God's own country in the hush Mama told me about the power of prayer Daddy taught me how to find solace there In the heartland with a simple song Where the grass is green and the days are long This country road takes me home To the place where I belong With a Bible in my hand I walk the land so grand God's love as vast as the open plains In every seed that the earth contains Boots dusty from the path I tread Hat tipped back upon my head The horizon stretches wide and far Under the watchful eye of the morning star Fields of gold and skies so blue A testament to what faith can do We gather 'round the fire's light Thanking God for the country night This country road takes me home To the place where I belong With a Bible in my hand I walk the land so grand God's love as vast as the open plains In every seed that the earth contains And when the storms come rolling in I lift my eyes let the rain begin It washes clean the soil and soul In the heartland where I play my role Ohhh ohhhhh ohhhh This country road takes me home To the place where I belong With a Bible in my hand I walk the land so grand God's love as vast as the open plains In every seed that the earth contains So here's to the land and here's to the Lord In this country life we're never bored Hand in hand we find our way In God's loving arms we'll always stay
