Country Dreams (LP Version) - Harry Chapin

This phone's growin' into my ear

I made three hundred calls today

Though yours is the only voice that I wanna hear

I got to make me a livin' someway

I know you hate me doin' this

You say I'm sellin' out

But how in the hell is a man supposed to live

Sellin's what it's all about

Hello Sir I'm the Pocono Land Development Company

And I'm callin' you with an offer of some land

That you'll just have to see

A quarter acre plot that's what I've got for you

Nineteen ninety five four hundred dollars down

And just ten bucks a week

It's two short hours from New York city

A Pocono Land site green and pretty

There's lakes there and trout streams

Mountain views country dreams country dreams

We dreamed our dreams in college girl

Back then we thought we should

And we promised that we would save the world

Way back then we thought we could

I know you love your teachin' now

But I wish you'd understand

There aren't that many jobs around

I'm doin' the best I can

Hello Sir I'm the Pocono Land Development Company

And I'm callin' you with an offer of some land

That you'll just have to see

A quarter acre plot that's what I've got for you

Nineteen ninety five, four hundred dollars down

And just ten bucks a week

It's two short hours from New York city

A Pocono Land site green and pretty

There's lakes there and trout streams

Mountain views country dreams country dreams

I'm here with forty other guys crowded in a room

Makin' a livin' sellin' the moon and rustic dreams in June

I used to hate the city now I'm dwellin' in it

Used to love the country now I'm sellin' it

I'm doin' well at it, that's the hell of it

I said that we would find a farm

And live out on the land

It's strange how dreams come back at us

In ways that we had never planned

Here I'm sellin' real estate

And laughin' at myself

If I can't have my country dream

I'm gonna sell it out to somebody else

Hello Sir I'm the Pocono Land Development Company

And I'm callin' you with an offer of some land

That you'll just have to see

A quarter acre plot that's what I've got for you

Nineteen ninety five four hundred dollars down

And just ten bucks a week

It's two short hours from New York city

A Pocono Land site green and pretty

There's lakes there and trout streams

Mountain views country dreams country dreams

Darlin' don't get mad at me

I'm doin' this for you

It's really not so sad to see

We had growin' up to do country dreams

Oh, please don't push me anymore

It's gonna work out fine

I know I said I'd quit before

But just give me a little more time country dreams
