I grew up in the country br And it’s the place I love br Fresh air to breathe br Close to God up above br br I love to grow plants br Flowers and such br Wake up at dawn br To a soft morning hush br br Hear the sound of birds br And bugs buzzin’ ‘round br There are times as well br When there’s not a sound br br I hear the birds in the evening br Settle in for the night br Tiny chirps up in the leaves br What a precious delight br br If you’ve only lived in the city br Why not give it a whirl br Take a bit of advice br From this country girl!br br Marilyn Lottbr br
