Written by Richard Jarvis G C G I can see the sadness in your eyes C G Knowing that I'm going to leave C D7 G Em If I told you the reason you'd never understand C D7 Cause the truth you never could see G C So I'm going back to the country roads G Back where the tall corn grows C D7 Back where the stream is running free G C G Back where the air is clear back where I can hear C D7 G The whippoorwills sing me to sleep C G I've enjoyed the sweetness of your smile C G And your soft touch that warms me when I'm cold C D7 G Em If you want me you can find me look down that country road C D7 I'll be walking and looking for my soul Repeat #2 C D7 G The whippoorwills sing me to sleep
