Verse 1
saw you at the police station and it breaks my heart to say
your eyes had wandered off to something distant cold and grey
I guess you didn't see it coming, someone's gotten used to slumming
dreaming of the golden years, I see you had to change careers
Far away, but we both know it's somewhere
Verse 2 (chords verse 1)
I saw you on the back page of some free press yesterday
the driftwood in your eyes said nothing short of love for pay
I know you from another picture, someone with the most conviction
we used to read the funny papers, fool around and pull some capers
not today, I send a message to her
A message that I'm coming, coming to pursue her
Chorus
Down home country
I rest my face on
your bed
I've got you ten times over
I'll chase you down
till you're dead
Verse 3 (chords verse 1)
I saw you on a TV station and it made me want to pray
an empty shell of lovelyness now dusted with decay
What happened to the funny paper, smiling was your money maker
someone ought to situate her, find a way to educate her
all the way, time to come and find you
you can't hide for me girl, so never mind what I do
Chorus
Down home country
I rest my face on
your bed
I met my soul mate country
and I left it all for
your head

Verse 4 (chords verse 1)
I saw you in the churchyard there was no time to exchange
you were getting married and it felt so very strange
I guess you did'nt see it coming, now I guess it's me who's bumming
dreaming of the golden years, you and I were mixing tears
not today, not for me but someone
I never could get used to, so now I will refuse to
Chorus
down home country
I rest my face on
your bed
I met my soul mate country
and I left it all for
your head
I've got my best foot forward
and I chase you down till
you're dead
