Take It Slow (Out In The Country)

Lighthouse

- written by Ralph Cole, Larry Smith & Keith Jollimore

- as recorded by Lighthouse on the 1971 album "Thoughts Of Movin' On"



Tired of bein' pushed, bumped and turned around

Listenin' to the people fightin' next floor down

Tryin' to find fresh air to breath, just can't be done, no

I gotta get away and get some country sun

Look to the sky, the stars are outta sight

Hidden by the cloud of the city's might

Hear the sirens blowin' all over town

Well now, I gotta get away and get some country sound



Take it slow and take it easy

Lots of time for livin'

Get out on the road and take a big load off your mind

Out in the country

Your time's your time

And you know that you'll be feelin' right



------ brief instrumental break ------



Layin' in grass that's over two feet tall

Well now, I'm feelin' good, I'm feelin' clean, I'm feelin' small

Breathin' this air can really stone the brain

Like bein' lost and findin' your way again

Look to the sky, the stars are shinin' bright

The smile on the moon just helps to light the night

Sittin' doin' nothin' is bad they say - ha!

But sittin' here doin' nothin' keeps me busy all day



Take it slow and take it easy

Lots of time for livin'

Get out on the road and take a big load off your mind

Out in the country

Your time's your time out on the road

Take a load off your mind

Out in the country

Your time's your time out on the road

Take a load off your mind

Out in the country

Your time's your time out on the road

Take a load off your mind

Out in the country
