[00:29.601]The song you are about to hear is all about taking a break from city life, [00:35.602]escaping from the crowds, [00:37.802]finding a quiet place,far from the human race. [00:42.152]For those of us who live in cities, [00:44.902]getting out in the country can provide a welcome break, [00:48.803]letting us recharge our batteries. [00:51.953][Out in the country,as the song says,we can find a place to [00:57.53]stand alone and take back somethin'worth remembering. [01:02.204]The countryside also promises escape from the pollution of the city, [01:07.505]somewhere to get some decent air to breathe. [01:11.705]The countryside also offers somewhere where the sun is not hidden by smog, [01:18.305]making it seem no more than a bright spot in the nighttime. [01:23.757][So,just remember,as the song advises,whenever you [01:28.107]need a bit of room to move [01:30.657]When life becomes too fast [01:32.707]you can always find relief at last Out in the country. [01:39.459]Here is the song: [01:42.559]Out in the Country [01:45.359]Paul Williams/Roger Nichols [02:01.360]Whenever I need to leave it all behind [02:05.710]Or feel the need to get away [02:10.511]I find a quiet place,far from the human race [02:15.711]Out in the country [02:20.311]Before the breathin'air is gone [02:23.812]Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime [02:29.862]Out where the rivers like to run [02:33.512]I stand alone and take back somethin'worth rememberin' [02:45.763]Whenever I feel them closing in on me [02:50.113]Or need a bit of room to move [02:55.65]When life becomes too fast,I find relief at last [03:00.365]Out in the country [03:04.565]Before the breathin'air is gone [03:08.65]Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime [03:13.975]Out where the rivers like to run [03:17.576]I stand alone and take back somethin'worth rememberin' [04:00.478]Before the breathin'air is gone [04:03.901]Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime [04:10.01]Out where the rivers like to run [04:13.402]I stand alone and take back somethin'worth rememberin' [04:19.457]Before the breathin'air is gone [04:23.07]Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime [04:28.858]]Out where the rivers like to run [04:32.458]I stand alone and take back somethin'worth rememberin' [04:38.509]Before the breathin'air is gone [04:41.259]Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime... [04:44.159]I stand alone...
