Country Lay On My Mind - Bill Anderson/Mary Lou Turner

作词：Red Lane

作曲：Red Lane

I stepped out of the rain into a downtown city cafe

And I saw him at the counter looking lonesome at the rain

I sat down beside him

And I ordered us some coffee

He smiled and said

Hello city country is my name

And I'm here to play your city game

I saw there in his eyes such a pure

And simple beauty

That could not have been bred

Upon these dark and dingy streets

I liked the look he gave me

And I asked him if he'd stay

And he said

Maybe for a while till I get back on my feet

And I sure could use a place to sleep

Lay lay country lay on my mind home is

Where the lovin' heart is beating free

Lay lay country lay on my mind

For deep inside these city

Lies a whole lot of country in me

A whole lot of country in me

The days we spent laughin'

And just walkin' in the park

And the nights we spent in each other's arms

But time brought a change

That brought him tossed and tumbled sleep

And I heard him mumble

Somethin' about a baby and a farm

I've gotta go make sure they're safe and warm

I woke up this morning and I opened up my eyes

Just in time to see him walkin' out the door

But I had dreams and feelings

That would always keep me happy

Even though I knew

I wouldn't see him anymore

So I just let him close the door

Lay lay country lay on my mind

Home is

Where the lovin' heart is beating free

Lay lay country lay on my mind

For deep inside these city

Lies a whole lot of country in me

A whole lot of country in me

Lay lay country lay on my mind

Home is

Where the lovin' heart is beating free

Lay lay country lay on my mind

For deep inside these city

Lies a whole lot of country in me

A whole lot of country in me

Lay lay country lay on my mind

Home is

Where the lovin' heart is beating free

Lay lay country lay
