Written:Michael Martin Murphey/Owens B.Castleman | |
Because he called the forest brother | |
Because he called the earth his mother | |
They drove him out into the rain | |
Some people even said that | |
the boy from the country was insane | |
Because he spoke to fish in the creek | |
He tried to tell us that the animals could speak | |
Who knows, perhaps they do | |
How do you know they don't just because | |
they've never spoken to you? | |
Boy from the country left his home when he was young | |
Boy from the country, he loves the sun | |
He tried to tell us we should love the land | |
We just turned our heads and laughed | |
You see we did not understand | |
Sometimes I think the boy from the country | |
Is the only one who sees | |
'Cause the boy from the country | |
Doesn't want to see the forest for the trees | |
Boy from the country left his home when he was young | |
Boy from the country, he loves the sun |
