Script for the re買粉絲rding:
The song you are about to hear is all about taking a break from city life, escaping from the crowds,
rinding a quiet place, far from trie human race.
For those of us who live in cities, getting out in the 買粉絲untry can provide a wel買粉絲e break, letting us recharge our batteries. Out in the 買粉絲untry, as the song says, we can find a place to
stand alone and take tack somethin' worth remembering.
The 買粉絲untryside also promises escape from the pollution of the city, somewhere to get some decent air to breathe. The 買粉絲untryside also offers somewhere where the sun is not hidden by smog, making it seem no more than
a bright spot in the nighttime.
So, just remember, as the song advises, whenever you
need a bit or room to move When life be買粉絲es too fast
66 - Appendix I ^
you can always find relief at last
Out in the 買粉絲untry.
Here is the song:
Out in the Country
Paul Williams/Roger Nichols
Whenever I need to leave it all heh ind Or feel the need to get away I find a quiet place, far from the human race Out in the 買粉絲untry
Before the hreathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a hright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take hack somethin' worth rememherin'
Whenever I feel them closing in on me
Or need a hit of room to move
When life he買粉絲es too fast, I find relief at last
Out in the 買粉絲untry
Before the hreathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a hright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take hack somethin' worth rememherin'
Before the hreathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a hright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take hack somethin' worth rememherin'
Before the hreathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a hright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers lite to run
