Big Country

Oh, I’m a prisoner of the road
And settled I will never be
The ones I’ve loved and ones I hate
Will never miss my company
I fought hard and sometimes won
My fortune’s never come to me
I guess I’m glad ‘cause if it did
I’d just spend it foolishly
So give me the road and a strong heart to travel with
A mind that’s always free
I don’t even know if I’ll be back again
I got a lotta things to see, to see
It’s a mighty big country
Oh, I’ve known girls with fine silk gowns
And with them times were always gay
But I’ve never found a-one who’s strong enough
To hold me down and make me stay
I’ve only slept in border towns
This city is no place for me
And I’m always thankin’ that Lord above
For givin’ me my liberty
So give me the road and a strong heart to travel with
A mind that’s always free
I don’t know even if I’ll be back again
I got a lotta things to see, to see
It’s a mighty big country
So give me the road and strong heart to travel with
A mind that’s always free
I don’t know even if I’ll be back again
I got a lotta things to see, to see
It’s a mighty big country (mighty big)
It’s a mighty big country (mighty big)
It’s a mighty big country (mighty big)
It’s a mighty big country (mmmmmm)
It’s a mighty big country
