MY COUNTRYSIDE

Shawn Chadwick Sackman and David Harper 
 
I went back home, lookin’ for the old days
Searchin’ down some of my friends 
It didn’t take long but we wound up in a bar, shootin’ pool & drinkin’ again
Order up JD, party starts here, we used to get shots for a buck
But all we got to choose from are some boo teek cocktails um...
... what the %^&*

My country side… what happened to my country side
Was there a funeral? it just died.  Feels like big city
My country side, full of beemers and them high rise zes
Where’d all the magic go, say bye bye
To my countryside…

Musical Motif

It’s ain’t all bad, case in point: bikini car wash and cafe
The food still sucks, but the car’s clean, and my antenna’s back up today
I’d go huntin’ if I could find sumthin’ that even looked like the woods
But no can do, all I see for miles are upscale neighborhoods

My country side… what happened to my country side
Was there a funeral? it just died.  Looks like big city
My country side, full of beemers and them high rise zes
Where’d all the magic go, say bye bye
To my countryside…

I’m  all for progress, but mama said
Don’t forget where you come from
And I ain’t forgettin’ but the scenery sure has changed
