Country Nights

City lights are calling neon glows so bright Traffic sounds like thunder in the heart of night Skyscrapers stand tall touching the sky But I miss the country where stars linger high Rolling fields of green under moon's soft gleam Quiet whispers of the wind like a gentle dream Barn owls hoot as the crickets sing Country nights are peaceful where my heart takes wing City lights are blinding but my soul feels confined Lonely in the hustle searching what I left behind Country nights oh serene where my spirit's set free That's where I find myself that's where I long to be Concrete beneath my boots people passing by Heartbeats never pausing in this man-made sky But down a dirt road where the wildflowers sway That's where my heart wanders longing to stay Street lamps flicker casting shadows wide Yet I hear the echoes of the countryside From the rustle of leaves to the call of a loon Country nights in my dreams under the same moon City lights are blinding but my soul feels confined Lonely in the hustle searching what I left behind Country nights oh serene where my spirit's set free That's where I find myself that's where I long to be
