Countrywide Soul Lyrics - Singles - Jim Cuddy

I was a lonely boy 

Out there searching 

Couldn't find much joy 

Too old to fake it 

Too young to hide it away 

I played the master thief 

Stealing the lives of the people I'd meet 

Faking away each day so gracelessly 

But there's a price that must be paid 

You can't hide out every day 

Somebody comes along 

And blows your cover all away 

Oh I lay down in a meadow in the sky 

And I held my breath as I fell into your eyes 

I love your hair smells sweet like pure Rocky Mountain air 

Like the big sky shining on a Winnipeg night 

Dust in the air and the Northern Lights 

All in your country wide soul 

I love your country wide soul 

You sure walk along slow 

That's the only speed I've ever seen you go 

You take good care of me as the days go by 

Is that the mail train I see 

Well I hope it's not carrying any news for me 

I just can't see myself on the company line 

There's another season gone and lord I'm feeling strong 

Got to find a way to keep this dream dreaming on 

Oh I lay down in a meadow in the sky 

And I held my breath as I fell into your eyes 

I love your face well it takes me to so many beautiful places 

Driving through the night under Prairie stars 

Listening to a band in a St. Johns bar 

Down by the water on a Halifax shore 

Listening to the wind and the ocean roar 

Freight train rolling through the Great Divide 

The magic in the mushrooms of PEI 

All in your country wide soul
