Country Dreams Lyrics - Harry Chapin

This phone's growin' into my ear 

I made three hundred calls today 

Though yours is the only voice that I wanna hear 

I got to make me a livin' someway 

I know you hate me doin' this 

You say I'm sellin' out 

But how in the hell is a man supposed to live? 

Sellin's what it's all about 

Hello Sir, I'm the Pocono Land Development Company 

And I'm callin' you with an offer of some land 

That you'll just have to see 

A quarter acre plot that's what I've got for you 

Nineteen ninety five, four hundred dollars down 

And just ten bucks a week

It's two short hours from New York city 

A Pocono Land site, green and pretty 

There's lakes there and trout streams 

Mountain views, country dreams, country dreams 

We dreamed our dreams in college, girl 

Back then we thought we should 

And we promised that we would save the world 

Way back then we thought we could 

I know you love your teachin' now 

But I wish you'd understand 

There aren't that many jobs around 

I'm doin' the best I can 

Hello Sir, I'm the Pocono Land Development Company 

And I'm callin' you with an offer of some land 

That you'll just have to see 

A quarter acre plot that's what I've got for you 

Nineteen ninety five, four hundred dollars down 

And just ten bucks a week

It's two short hours from New York city 

A Pocono Land site, green and pretty 

There's lakes there and trout streams 

Mountain views, country dreams, country dreams 

I'm here with forty other guys crowded in a room 

Makin' a livin', sellin' the moon and rustic dreams in June 

I used to hate the city, now I'm dwellin' in it 

Used to love the country now I'm sellin' it 

I'm doin' well at it, that's the hell of it 

I said that we would find a farm 

And live out on the land 

It's strange how dreams come back at us 

In ways that we had never planned 

Here I'm sellin' real estate 

And laughin' at myself 

If I can't have my country dream 

I'm gonna sell it out to somebody else 

Hello Sir, I'm the Pocono Land Development Company 

And I'm callin' you with an offer of some land 

That you'll just have to see 

A quarter acre plot that's what I've got for you 

Nineteen ninety five, four hundred dollars down 

And just ten bucks a week 

It's two short hours from New York city 

A Pocono Land site, green and pretty 

There's lakes there and trout streams 

Mountain views, country dreams, country dreams 

Darlin', don't get mad at me 

I'm doin' this for you 

It's really not so sad to see 

We had growin' up to do country dreams 

Oh, please don't push me anymore 

It's gonna work out fine 

I know I said, I'd quit before 

But just give me a little more time, country dreams
