Big Country Songtext
von Gram Parsons

Oh, I′m a prisoner of the road
And settled I will never be
And the ones I've loved and ones I hate
Will never miss my company

I fought hard and sometimes won
But fortune′s never come to me
And 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
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
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
It's a mighty big country
It′s a mighty big country
It′s a mighty big country
It's a mighty big country
