THREE DOG NIGHT- "OUT IN THE COUNTRY"

PEAKED AT # 15 IN 1970. LYRICS:
Whenever I need to leave it all behind
Or feel the need to get away
I find a quiet place, far from the human race
Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Whenever I feel them closing in on me
Or need a bit of room to move
When life becomes too fast, I find relief at last
Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime...

I stand alone...

This song has such a strange, nostalgic, almost magical feel when I listen to it. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is about it. The video made here compliments the song very well also. Job well done rwells47.

[rwells47]

Thanks for the kind words.  Ron

This song made me cry wistfully, for some reason, the first time I heard it. Now, I weep because I can't go back to that simpler time. Thanks for giving me a happy memory, and an extremely well done video. Kudos, dear.

[rwells47]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoy the video! Ron

[RUDY DEL VECCHIO]

WOW I JUST SAW YOUR COMMENT I WROTE A COMMENT VERY SIMILIAR TO YOURS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO ABOUT THIS SONG. THE SONG GIVES ME A FUNNY FEELING INSIDE I CANT EXPLAIN. COOL OTHERS FEEL THE SAME WAY I DO

[railroadqueen]

Wow! I feel exactly the same way, it gives me that funny butterfly feeling in my stomach! Love this!~

when life kicks my ass i find my favorite glass then fill it to the rim and and now it's not so grim out in the country.

[Marcia Ellis]

it was good back then and still is -

[branchtobranch]

I love your video....so much!

[Pablo Sabato]

My favorite piece of the group. Soothing and relaxing, especially after a long day at work. Pop open a cold one, take off my shirt, sit in the shade...

[Eileen Smith]

Music was more beautiful then, more innocent -- the music today seems dark by comparison.

[Tweedle Dee]

Just a great one...forever!!!
