Here We Are/way Out In The Country Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

words and Music by Arlo Guthrie 

Here I am 

Won't you take me in your arms tonight 

And there you are 

Looking like the stars are in your eyes 

Here we go 

You know it's been so long since we were lovers 

I don't know 

If I felt this way since then and baby why 

Why we said good-bye 

Why we sat and cried 

Why we ever let this happen to us 

I don't care 

Where you've been, I've been there too 

You know that 

You and me 

We had some growing on our own to do now 

Let's get on 

You know the time's a-wasting 

Morning's breaking 

Here we are 

Looking like we used to be and baby why 

Why we said good-bye 

Why we sat and cried 

Why we ever let this happen to us 

There's a bird flying high 

Way up in the air 

And I am sitting here with you at my side 

Way out in the country 

There's a lot of real big trees 

Rolling gently on the breeze 

And I am playing with the bumble bees 

Out in the country 

Puffy clouds are in the air 

If it rains well we won't care 

'Cause you look good in your underwear 

Way out in the country 

Here I am 

Let me take you in my arms and hold you 

Once again 

It feels like we are coming home and well 

Remember when 

We were young and so in love together 

Here we are 

Happy like we used to be, and baby why 

Why we said good-bye 

Why we stood and cried 

Why we ever let this this happen to us 

You know the time is at an end 

And you and I can just be friends 

And if we let this moment pass 

I think we both know it won't come again
