From the recording Old Bottles and Bibles

Lyrics

8. Alone in the Country
All alone I’m thinking of you this starry night / Shadows dance and twirl and chase the moon / And come morning dew will soak my shoes / I miss your body close to mine when you hug away the blues

Chorus: Alone in the country; life is good / But I miss you tonight / I miss your simple prayer at the table when life’s troubles bring me down / And I miss your loving arms all around

You left with a dream of an honest world / Finding courage and hope through the eyes of a country girl
And this old farm will still do its part
And we’ll pray that the world finds what I found in your heart Chorus

I guess I may join you someday
But will the land and farm be okay?
So many farms and families gone away And the children have no memories of what brought them here today Chorus
