(Verse) I was in LA, having a good time But I was about to lose my mind So I told a bartender, “This is gonna sound funny” “But, can you tell me where’s your country?” He gave me directions and one for the road Down high way one to where this little creek flowed Into where the ocean blended with the sky And I was so glad that I asked that guy (Chorus) Where’s your country, where’s that part A prairie field like a work of art A lake or diner to fill my heart A rusted gate where the backroads start I just need a place that I can find To feel that freedom, and that peace of mind. I brought my truck, I’m itching with the key Please tell me Where’s your country? (Verse) Now from London to Portland to Hong Kong, All my fans have an answer to this song Like that honkey tonk in downtown Chicago And that hidden mountain pass in Colorado Even things I didn’t think would get me this way Like this one late night Paris café And that island in DC where nature grows Cuz there’s always a local who knows (Chorus) Where’s your country, where’s that part A prairie field like a work of art A lake or diner to fill my heart A rusted gate where the backroads start I just need a place that I can find To feel that freedom, and that peace of mind. I brought my truck, I’m itching with the key Please tell me Where’s your country? (Bridge) And If you’re ever down in my Durham, NC And you’re feeling angsty, come find me And say those words, and I’ll get you out on your own So you can get away, and start to feel at home Just ask (Chorus) Where’s your country, where’s that part A prairie field like a work of art A lake or diner to fill my heart A rusty gate where the backroads start I just need a place that I can find To feel that freedom, and that peace of mind. I brought my truck, I’m itching with the key Please tell me Where’s your country? Where’s your country? Where’s your country?
