In the city's busy stream I close my eyes and start to dream The hum of engines fades away I wake up in a country day Country dreams, wild and free Where the open road calls to me Horses run and rivers gleam Living life in a country dream Cowboy boots and faded jeans A world where skies are deep and green Willie Nelson's on the radio Johnny Cash in the evening glow Country dreams, wild and free Where the open road calls to me Horses run and rivers gleam Living life in a country dream At the honky-tonk, guitars play Dolly and Merle light up the way Whiskey flows and laughter's loud In this dream, I'm country proud Rolling hills and barns so red Songs of old fill my head Tractors hum in morning light Stars shine bright in the peaceful night Country dreams, wild and free Where the open road calls to me Horses run and rivers gleam Living life in a country dream When dawn breaks, I must go Back to the world I used to know But in my heart, it always seems I'm living life in country dreams
