A PLACE IN THE COUNTRY Writers Steve Clark, Johnny
McRae, Bob Morrison

For thirty some odd years he faced a grinder in
the city, hustlin' day in day out just tryin' to

place where, he could feel the mornin' sunshine,
and sit out in the evenin', where the air is,

son out of his run-ins with the law, the more it
took the more he gave, never once complaining, I
don't know how he ever stood the pressure of it
all. I never thought he'd make it, but he finally
left the city, and now he's got that special
little place to call his own, today I took a ride
out in the country just to see him, it wasn't hard
to find because his name was on the stone. (repeat
