I can see the sadness in your eyes Knowing that I'm going to leave If I told you the reason you'd never understand Cause the truth you never could see So I'm going back to the country roads Back where the tall corn grows Back where the stream is running free Back where the air is clear back where I can hear The whippoorwills sing me to sleep I've enjoyed the sweetness of your smile And your soft touch that warms me when I'm cold If you want me you can find me look down that country road I'll be walking and looking for my soul So I'm going back to the country roads Back where the tall corn grows Back where the stream is running free Back where the air is clear back where I can hear The whippoorwills sing me to sleep The whippoorwills sing me to sleep
