The Big Country

[Verse 1]
I see the shapes I remember from maps
I see the shoreline, I see the whitecaps
A baseball diamond, nice weather down there
I see the school and the houses where the kids are
Places to park by the factories and buildings
Restaurants and bars for later in the evening

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Then we come to the farmlands and the undeveloped areas
And I have learned how these things work together
I see the parkway that passes through them all
And I have learned how to look at these things, and I say

[Chorus]
I wouldn't live there if you paid me
I wouldn't live like that, no sirree
I wouldn't do the things the way those people do
I wouldn't live there if you paid me to

[Verse 2]
I guess it's healthy, I guess the air is clean
I guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends
Look at that kitchen and all of that food
Look at them eat it, I guess it tastes real good

[Pre-Chorus 2]
They grow it in those farmlands, then they bring it to the store
They put it in the car trunk, then they bring it back home, and I say

[Chorus]
I wouldn't live there if you paid me
I wouldn't live like that, no sirree
I wouldn't do the things the way those people do
I wouldn't live there if you paid me to

[Verse 3]
I'm tired of looking out the window of the airplane
I'm tired of traveling, I want to be somewhere
And it's not even worth talking
About those people down there going:
