Big Country

Big, big country
Big, big

Big city is a heavy load
I hear the call of the open road
I bought a ticket for the big highway
I got a gold rush comin' my way
Get a way into my soul
Take a walk down a country road

Big, big country
Big, big, big country

Well, I guess it's a familiar story
I was headed for the open West
Like my brothers here before me
Settle down in the town that I like best
Oh, maybe I will stay right here
Stake my claim for a thousand years

Big, big country
A big country

I took my lover to an ancient woods
I never knew she looked so good
And then we found a cool, clear stream
Well, we began to dream
I could see what I'd done wrong
I've been away too long

Big, big country
Big country
