Lyrics

COUNTRY IS A STATE OF MIND

Woke up don’t know where I’d been
Maybe tied one on again
Conway on the ol’ jukebox
Shadow corner of a honky-tonk

Waitress said to me
Ya came here lookin’ for what you can’t see
Someplace you’re meant to be
And then she said

I’ve been here, and I’ve been there
And honey let me tell you it ain’t anywhere....

It’s not an all-night diner north a, New Orleans
Or a gas station just outside of, Abilene
Not a thousand miles from any, county line
No country
Country is a state of mind

Meanwhile wakin’ up
Two sugars in my coffee cup
Thinkin’ of Patsy Cline
Lookin’ thru a window blind
Saw the girl in her first prom dress
With a boy in his Sunday best
Gettin’ on a Greyhound headed west down, Highway 49
To anyplace, where a banjo’s playin’
A fiddle’s cryin and the dancers are swaying’

It isn’t washed up outta luck and , stuck in Memphis
Or broke down wasted drunk in, Austin Texas
No it ain’t no place on any map you’ll find country
Country is a state of mind

It’s where the
Wabash Cannonball is right on time
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
And dear old Merle’s finished doin’ his time
Somewhere close to heaven

It’s not a dirt floor shack down in, Alabama
Or a truck stop just outside of, Texarkana
Not a thousand miles from any, county line
Country is a state of mind

Well it’s anyplace where the band is playin’
And the homecoming queen has decided she’s stayin’
Not on any map, but its easy to find
Country is a state
Country is a state of mind
Country is a state of mind
Country is a state
Country is a state...of mind
A state of mind
Ooh-ooh
Country is a state of mind
