I can see the sadness in your eyes knowing that I'm going to leave

If I told you the reason you'd never understand cause the truth you never could see

So I'm goin' back to the country roads back where the tall corn grows

Back where the stream is running free

Back where the air is clear back where I can hear the whippoorwills sing me to sleep



I've enjoyed the sweetness of your smile

And your soft touch that warms me when I'm cold

If you want me you can find me look down that country road

I'll be walking and looking for my soul

So I'm goin' back...

The whippoorwills sing me to sleep
