Country Dreams (国家梦想) (LP版) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
This phone's growin' into my ear[00:00:11]
I made three hundred calls today[00:00:14]
Though yours is the only voice that I wanna hear[00:00:17]
I got to make me a livin' someway[00:00:20]
I know you hate me doin' this[00:00:23]
You say I'm sellin' out[00:00:26]
But how in the hell is a man supposed to live[00:00:29]
Sellin's what it's all about[00:00:32]
Hello Sir I'm the Pocono Land Development Company[00:00:36]
And I'm callin' you with an offer of some land[00:00:42]
That you'll just have to see[00:00:46]
A quarter acre plot that's what I've got for you[00:00:48]
Nineteen ninety five four hundred dollars down[00:00:53]
And just ten bucks a week[00:00:57]
It's two short hours from New York city[00:01:02]
A Pocono Land site green and pretty[00:01:05]
There's lakes there and trout streams[00:01:07]
Mountain views country dreams country dreams[00:01:10]
We dreamed our dreams in college girl[00:01:24]
Back then we thought we should[00:01:27]
And we promised that we would save the world[00:01:29]
Way back then we thought we could[00:01:32]
I know you love your teachin' now[00:01:36]
But I wish you'd understand[00:01:38]
There aren't that many jobs around[00:01:41]
I'm doin' the best I can[00:01:44]
Hello Sir I'm the Pocono Land Development Company[00:01:48]

There's lakes there and trout streams[00:02:20]
Mountain views country dreams country dreams[00:02:24]
I'm here with forty other guys crowded in a room[00:02:37]
Makin' a livin' sellin' the moon and rustic dreams in June[00:02:40]
I used to hate the city now I'm dwellin' in it[00:02:46]
Used to love the country now I'm sellin' it[00:02:49]
I'm doin' well at it that's the hell of it[00:02:52]
I said that we would find a farm[00:02:59]
And live out on the land[00:03:02]
It's strange how dreams come back at us[00:03:04]
In ways that we had never planned[00:03:07]
Here I'm sellin' real estate[00:03:10]
And laughin' at myself[00:03:13]
If I can't have my country dream[00:03:16]
I'm gonna sell it out to somebody else[00:03:19]
Hello Sir I'm the Pocono Land Development Company[00:03:24]
And I'm callin' you with an offer of some land[00:03:30]

Mountain views country dreams country dreams[00:03:59]
Darlin' don't get mad at me[00:04:13]
I'm doin' this for you[00:04:15]
It's really not so sad to see[00:04:18]
We had growin' up to do country dreams[00:04:21]
Oh please don't push me anymore[00:04:30]
It's gonna work out fine[00:04:32]
I know I said I'd quit before[00:04:35]
But just give me a little more time country dreams[00:04:38]
