Martin Sexton - Goin to the country

There's a^G warm wind blowing over, from the^C west again today and ^Fwith it comes that message sent, fr^Gom so far away. It ^Gdrags that longing feeling from my ^Cheart down to my sleeve, ^FTells me that it's been too long, and it's b^Geen time to leave. ^CHeeey-heeyyyy,^G h^Ceeey-heey^Gyyyy

So I bought a ^Gpick up truck with three shades of orange and ^Ctwo shades of rusted blue, ^Fwent down to my boss to get my paycheck and then he ^Gtold me what I could do. I ^Grode down to my momma's place and said "momma my^C time has come to ride," She said "^Fboy don't you let the screen door slam your ^Gass on the way outside."

You see I'm ^Cgoin to the country for a ^Gwhile, I'm ^Cgoing where they speak in turns a ^Gcountry mile I'm ^Cgoing to the country, was there ^Ebsomething I should know, before I g^Go?

Well a ^Gsweet hitchhiker stops me on this ^Cold and county road, She ^Fhopped into my pickup with her cutoff jeans, and she so ^Gkindly said "hello" Her ^Gblue eyes smiled as she said her desti^Cnation was unknown, she said she ^Fleft the city standing only days ago, and then she ^Gturned up my radio.

You see I'm ^Cgoin to the country for a ^Gwhile, I'm ^Cgoing where they speak in turns a ^Gcountry mile I'm ^Cgoing to the country, was there ^Ebsomething I should know, before I g^Go?

^EmLife was ordinary ^Amboring lame, ^Call my dreams were ^Ebcaptive on that rat-race of a c^Gage. ^EmSweet the sound surr^Amendered to my ears, ^Coh, the winds of ch^Ebange, have blown them, ^Gaway G F7 F#7 G7 e|--3-3-3---5--6--7---| B|--3-3-3---4--5--6---| G|--4-4-4---5--6--7---| D|--------------------| A|--------------------| E|--------------------| just for today
