	SOMEDAY I'LL LIVE IN THE COUNTRY
	 
INTRO CHORDS	
	
VERSE 1	YEAH I WAS BORN IN THE CITY
	IT WAS SOME ODD YEARS AGO
	AND I WAS BORN TO RAMBLE
	BUT I NEVER DID GO
	
VERSE 2	A CITY MAN NEEDS THE COUNTRY
	AND VICE- VERSA THEY SAY
	SO MAYBE WE CAN TRADE
	PLEASE HELP ME GET AWAY
	
VERSE 3	I MET MY SWEET LINDA
	WHEN I WAS JUST A BOY
 	THAT GIRL SHE STOLE MY HEART
	AND SHE FILLED ME FULL OF JOY
	
VERSE 4	BOUGHT A HOME IN THE CITY
	IN A BETTER NEIGHBORHOOD
	WE CAN'T AFFORD TO TRAVEL
	AND IT'S WELL UNDERSTOOD
	
CHORUS 	SOMEDAY I'LL LIVE IN THE COUNTRY
	THATS REALLY WHERE I WANT TO BE
	I HOPE AND I PRAY AND I DREAM THAT
	SOMEDAY I'LL LIVE IN THE COUNTRY
	
BREAK LEADS	
	
VERSE 5	GIMME BLUEGRASS NOT DISCO
	GIVE ME CLEAN AIR NOT CRUD
	"I LIKE FISHIN, NOT WORKIN"
	"GIVE ME CLEAR WATER, NOT MUD"
	
VERSE 6	IF YOU THINK YOU LIKE THE FAST LANE
	THIS IS IT MY FRIEND
	YOU'VE FOLLOWED THE WRONG TRAIL
	AND THIS HERE'S A DEAD END
	
VERSE 7	SO YOU FOLKS IN THE WILD LAND
	DONT LET US SEE YOU FROWN
	WE WE GO OUT CAMPIN
	OR Y'ALL COME INTO TOWN
	
VERSE 8	THE LORD GAVE YOU THE LAND
	AND DEER & BEAR & FOX
	YET YOU LOOK DOWN ON ME
	CAUSE I WAS BORN IN A SHOEBOX
	
CHORUS 	SOMEDAY I'LL LIVE IN THE COUNTRY
	THATS REALLY WHERE I WANT TO BE
	I HOPE AND I PRAY AND I DREAM THAT
	SOMEDAY I'LL LIVE IN THE COUNTRY
