High In The Country - Brent Cobb

Should’ve been a lawman, diamond in hand with a radical creed

Should’ve punched clocks on the beers and the docks makin' concrete

I’ve seen ships down in Savannah left their ivory sails soar

I could’ve gotten used to life it seems

Could’ve been a doctor livin' in a mansion, rich as I’d be

Could’ve had a fast car, young blonde girlfriend all for free

I like to think in some town far away there’d be a man like I am now

He will feel that he was losin' touch

Lost too much

High in the country

Where the skies are blue

High in the country

Where I dream of you

Well I’m down with the devil, I’m down with the saints

I’m layin' on thick, fresh coats of paint

Take it all back, take it all back, Jack

She never loved a damn thing, never lost faith

I would die a thousand deaths to end up in her lovin' arms

Every chance I had I threw away

I spent every day

High in the country

Where the skies are blue

High in the country

Where I dream of you

Where I dream of you

As I dream of you

High in the country

Where the strong wind blew

High in the country

Where I dream of you

Still I dream of you
