BACK FORTY

 

Out in the country, Deep in this land            

The sun’s going down, Reaching out for your hand

Some may not notice and Some may not care

But he’s got that long lonesome stare

Out on back forty of some pasture land

This cowboy’s been whistling your name out loud

Whistling, ‘cause he don’t know you

Whistling, sure like to know you

Whistling his life away

Still He knows who, you will be

You’ll be everthing he sees, Everything he dreams

All at once you’ll be all he needs

It’s bound to happen, Baby

It’s bound to happen

 

Out in the city, Deep in this land

The sun’s going down, Holding out for your hand

Some may not notice and Some may not care

But she’s got that long lonesome stare

Up in this highrise of some corporate land

This woman’s been dreaming your name out loud

Dreaming, ‘cause she don’t know you

Dreaming, sure like to know you

Dreaming her life away Still

She knows who, you will be

You’ll be everything she sees, Everything she dreams

All at once you’ll be all she needs

It’s bound to happen, Baby

It’s bound to happen

 

Well I’ve been to Paris and I’ve been to Spain

But there’s no one around there, That goes by your name

Fools may not notice, Fools may not care

But then there’s that long lonesome stare

Out in this world, still yet to be

These lovers keep searching for someone unseen

Searching, ‘cause they can’t find you

Searching, sure like to find you

Searching their lives away

Still I know who, you will be

You’ll be everything I see, Everything I dream

All at once you’ll be all I need

Everytjing I see, Everything I dream

All at once you’ll be all I need

It’s bound to happen, Baby

It’s bound to happen
