John Denver Lyrics for Song: Boy From The Country
 Lyrics for Album: Triple Feature [2009]
 
 
 
 19696>Because he called the forest "Brother"
 
 Because he calls the Earth his mother
 
 They drove him out into the rain
 
 Some people even said the boy from the country was insane
 
 
 
 Because he spoke to fish in the creek
 
 He tried to tell us that the animals could speak
 
 Who knows? Perhaps they do
 
 How do you know they don't just because they've never spoken to you?
 
 
 
 Boy from the country
 
 Left his home when he was young
 
 Boy from the country
 
 He loves the sun.
 
 
 
 He tried to tell us we should love the land
 
 We just turned our heads and laughed; you see we did not understand
 
 Sometimes I think the boy from the country is the only one who sees
 
 'Cause the boy from the country
 
 doesn't want to see the forest for the trees.
 
 
 
 Boy from the country
 
 Left his home when he was young
 
 Boy from the country
 
 He loves the sun.
