Country Dumb

I come from a long line in history of dreamers
 ♪
 Each one more tired than the one before
 ♪
 All of us too poor to pay attention
 Sweet dreamin' was all we could afford
 ♪
 They say that even in the worst hope overcometh
 ♪
 But not in this cold lonely world of mine
 So if your warm thoughts ever wander up to good heavens
 Say a prayer of hope for my driftin', sweet dreamin' mind
 We are not what you call over-comers
 We are failures each and every one
 
 We're the kind who will always need a Saviour
 ♪
 The kind who play country dumb
 I come from a long line in history of dreamers
 ♪
 Too broke down to frankly my dear give a good god dime
 Too poor in spirit to rent to own it alone
 Even qualify for that ever elusive pre-approved new lease on life
 We're the kind who never take responsibility
 Yeah the only thing I will ever take from you will be my leave
 And the only good thing I'll ever give to you will be my good grief
 I've counted the cost sister Christian I know that Jesus saves cuz nothing in this cold lonely world is for free!
 There are reasons that I was alone when I met you
 ♪
 Reasons that go back a long long way in time
 There are reasons that I am surely going to leave you
 They come from a circle in history woman that ain't hardly even mine
 ♪
 And in this unbroken circle I will be the first at the end of the line
 ♪
 We're the kind who start the books but who just do not finish
 We're the kind who have 10, 000 would-be-great, ungrateful, too-long, run-on songs
 We're the kind still stuck in the past but who see well into the circle future
 
 You see I miss you woman and baby you ain't even yet gone
 You see I miss you babe and woman you ain't even yet gone
