Too many city lights,
Not enough stars in the sky,
I hear the cars and trucks go by,
Not the sounds of crickets chirping and birds in flight,
This country girl is feeling lost
amongst the buildings and the sidewalks,
I need to see the animals in the forest,
the birds and the bees,
I long for the wind blowing through the trees,
The fresh smell of earth amongst the leaves,
Lord how I long for the simple things
The sight of an owl in flight,
The look of the moon, the endless stars at night,
The sound of a trickling brook,
The sparkle of the sun in a rainfilled pond,
through the rustle of the wind blown leaves.
OH LORD, how I miss the country life.
