Sweet Country Calling Lyrics

INTRO: Am7 C G
Going down to take a ride on the Rock Island Line
I'm gonna meet an old friend of mine
It's gonna be a fine ride if only I can hide
From the man who guards the freighting line
I've got two thousand miles to go where I want to be
Lady Luck stay with me
I wanna be there
I gotta be there
CHORUS:
Oh, sweet country calling, calling me it's way
Come and bathe in cool clear water, wash the city dirt away
Oh, sweet country calling, I've got something to say
When I get back to you, I won't let you down
This time I'm gonna stay
BRIDGE:
I wanna hear, hear the bluegrass
I wanna breathe in the mountain air
I gotta take in all that moonshine
But most of all I wanna see a friend of mine
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G C G
The last time I saw her, she was waving me goodbye
Heading on down the line
She said, "Come on along", I decided to stay
Now I know I was wrong
That's why I'm playing with fate, riding this freight
Lady Luck please stay with me
I wanna be there
I gotta be there
CHORUS:
Oh, sweet country calling, calling me it's way
Come and bathe in cool clear water, wash the city dirt away
Oh, sweet country calling, I've got something to say
When I get back to you, I won't let you down
This time I'm gonna stay
CHORUS: (## fade to end ##)
Oh, sweet country calling, calling me it's way
Come and bathe in cool clear water, wash the city dirt away
Oh, sweet country calling, I've got something to say
When I get back to you, I won't let you down
This time I'm gonna stay
