Queen Of The Country

Queen of the country won't you take me home Queen of the country where the river flows Queen of the country like my father used to know Queen of the country won't you take me home It used to be life was simple but not an easy task The river provided for all that we could ask And though she's always given and we've taken too much The river has a power only the surface can we touch I've been waiting but for what I don't know I've been day dreaming of all the places I could go So when I feel the pain floods of emptiness inside I jump into the river and she takes me for a ride Down by the river I can rest awhile Oh that river yeah it makes me smile Gonna wade in the water and wash away my sin Down by the river lord I begin again So queen of the country won't you take me home Queen of the country where the river flows Queen of the country like my father used to know Queen of the country won't you take me home
