John Denver - To The Wild Country Lyrics
This song appears on five albums, and was first released on the I want to live album, and has also been recorded on the earth songs, country classics, the very best ofjohn denver (single cd) anJohn denver collection - rocky mountain high albums.There are times I fear I lose myselfI dont know who I amI get caught up in the struggle and the strainWith my back against a stonewallMy finger in the damLosin strength and goin down againAnd I take a look around meMy eyes cant find the sunTheres nothing wild as far as I can seeThen my heart turns to alaskaAnd freedom on the runI can hear her spirit callin meTo the mountains, I can rest thereTo the rivers, I will be strongTo the forest, Ill find peace thereTo the wild country, where I belongOh, I know some times I worryOn worldly ways and meansAnd I can see the future killing meOn a misbegotten highwayOf prophecies and dreamsA road to nowhere and eternityAnd I know its just changesYes, and mankind marchin onI know we cant live in yesterdayBut compared to what were losinAnd what it means to meId give my life and throw the rest awayTo the mountains, I can rest thereTo the rivers, I will be strongTo the forest, Ill find peace thereTo the wild country, where I belongTo the wild country, where I belongWords and music by john denver
