Headed For The Country Lyrics - David Allan Coe

Lightly tripping through 

The misty dripping morning 

Up the stairs to see if she was home 

When I found a note 

That she'd wrote with a pen 

Attached upon her door 

And the two weeks stack of daily papers 

Said goodbye to someone that I love 

(Chorus) 

And it looks as if she's headed 

For the country once again 

Far from the city sidewalks 

The neons and the rain 

Back to the grassy meadows 

To run barefoot through the wind 

They tell me that she's headed 

for the country once again 

I miss her sermons of 

Seek and ye shall find 

Truth is just a bluebird flying blind 

And a special prayer for those 

Whose mind should ever flow 

One for the weary, for the sick 

And the passing of the good 

Repeat chorus
