I Want My Son To Be A Country Boy

From Mirrors And Changes

1. Well, I want my son to be a country boy (D-A-D)

With fields and streams and meadows to enjoy (G-A-D)

Where the forest’s tall and green, and the air is fresh and clean (G-A-D-G)

And a sunny day can be his favorite toy (D-G-A)

Yeah, I want my son to be a country boy (G-A-D)

2. Now the city just ain’t any place to grow

Well, I’ve lived here all my life, so I should know

In the country, life begins, but the city’s where it ends

So I’d like to pack my family up and go (repeat verse one)

3. Now, a concrete playground ain’t no place to play

And the air looks like it’s seen a better day

And this city life just seems to give way to country dreams

And I know we’d do quite well to get away (repeat verse one)
