Charlie Kaplan - Country Life in America Lyrics

I got clean from the bottle, bottoming out
I still don't know what this song is about
But I didn't get very far from here
Now I can't make it all disappear
Cut it in the morning, clean it at night
Let them know everything is alright
Suddenly turned into stone
The receiver covered on the phone
Yeah I feel it getting louder
Feel it getting louder
Feel it in the words that I sing
I feel it getting louder
I feel it getting louder
But I just can't hear a thing
No I just can't hear a thing
Rolling with the punches, telling the truth
Wonder what'll happen behind the booth
Cooking in the cosmic rays
Soaking California Days
Messing with the volume, tweaking the tone
Out on the island and dreaming of home
But I know I can't get back there
I'll talk about that in a pair
Yeah I feel it getting louder
Feel it getting louder
Feel it in the words that I sing
I feel it getting louder
I feel it getting louder
But I just can't hear a thing
No I just can't hear a thing
Don't worry kid, you'll find your way
Every night'll step out the way for the day
I wish someone told me way back there
When I was breathing in the evening air
There, but for the grace of God, go I
Hydrangeas, amaryllis, ranunculi
And lilacs and columbines
Crocus and dandelions
Yeah I feel it getting louder
Feel it getting louder
Feel it in the words that I sing
I feel it getting louder
I feel it getting louder
But I still can't hear a thing
No I still can't hear a thing
