Version 1 of the lyrics

For thirty some odd years he faced a grinder in the city

G C D D7

Hustlin' day in day out just tryin' to survive

For thirty some odd years he faced

He bought his wife the finer things and sent his kids to collage

a grinder in the city,

That always took what little bit he tried to put aside

G C D D7

hustlin' day in day out just tryin' to survive,

But through it all he had one thing that seemed to keep him going

C G

A dream that someday he could leave this city life behind

he bought his wife the finer things,and

I watched his hair turn thin and gray, but his dream never faded

sent his kids to collage,

He told me all about it, at least a thousand times

C Am D

that always took what little bit

He always wanted, a place out in the country

he tried to put aside,

Where the birds sing, in the morning and the grass is emerald green

A place where, he could feel the mornin' sunshine

G C D D7

And sit out in the evenin', where the air is fresh and clean

But thru it all he had one thing that

seemed to keep him going,

It took lots of overtime to keep his wife up with the Jonses

G C D D7

And more to get his son out of his run-ins with the law

a dream that someday he could

The more it took the more he gave, never once complaining

leave this city life behind,

I don't know how he ever stood the pressure of it all

C G

I watched his hair turn thin and gray,

I never thought he'd make it, but he finally left the city

but his dream never faded,

And now he's got that special little place to call his own

C D G

Today I took a ride out in the country just to see him

he told me all about it at least a thousand times.

It wasn't hard to find because his name was on the stone

(chorus)

G G7 C

He always wanted, a place out in the country

He always wanted, a place out in the country,

Where the birds sing, in the morning and the grass is emerald green

G G7 Am D

A place where, he could feel the mornin' sunshine

where the birds sing, in the morning,and

And sit out in the evenin', where the air is fresh and clean

the grass is emerald green,

G C

He always wanted, a place out in the country

a place where, he could feel the mornin' sunshine,

Oh where the birds sing, in the morning and the grass is emerald green

G D G

and sit out in the evenin', where the

air is, fresh and clean.

It took lots of overtime to keep his

wife up with the jonses,

and more to get his 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.
