From a
hill I looked down at the
lights of a town that lured me and trapped me a while
But I broke away,
now I'm on my way,
so happy, carefree like a child
Headed for my big country
Well, I need lots of room
So I'll follow that moon
Drifting there in the star -studded sea
Over trails that are strange
To that far mountain range
Where the tall timber beckons to me
Out there in my big country
There's someone out there
And I know that she cares,
the big country holds all my dreams
With a love that I know,
pure as new -fallen snow
And as fresh as a cool mountain spring
Well, I can hardly wait
till I stand at the gate
Oh, I've been away now so long
When her arms open wide
and I step inside
I'll be home
And that's where I belong
Out here in my big country
There's someone out there
and I know that she cares
That big country holds all my dreams
With a love that I know,
pure as New Fallen snow
And as fresh as a cool mountain stream
I can hardly wait till I stand at that gate
Ooh, I've been away now so long
When her arms open wide
and I step inside
I'll be home,
and that's where I be long
Down here in my big country
