Take a Walk In the Country Lyrics


1. There’s cement covers the ground here,
And the greyness can really bring you down here.
Scenes like the ground will smother you,
And the dirty old buildings will cover you
‘Till there's just one thing to do....
1st CHORUS
Take a walk in the country,
Breathe the sweet country air.
Feel the warm earth around you, everywhere.
Take a walk in the country,
Feel the wind in your hair.
Take a walk in the country,
There's a place....for you there.
Musical Interlude

2. There's airplanes instead of birds here,
And car lots… instead of grazing herds here.
No more streams to comfort you
Or soft, green meadows to wander through
Unless you know what to do....Ooooo….. Ooooo.... Ooooo
2nd CHORUS
Take a walk in the country,
Breathe the sweet country air.
Feel the warm earth around you, everywhere
Take a walk in the country,
Feel the wind in your hair,
Take a walk in the country,
There's a place....for you there.
3rd CHORUS
Take a walk in the country,
Breathe the sweet country air.
Feel the warm earth around you, everywhere.
Take a walk in the country,
Feel the wind in your hair.
Take a walk in the country,
There's a place....for you there.
For you there, for you there…....
Take a walk in the country;
Take a walk in the country;
Take a walk in the country.....

The “Mākaha Sons of Ni‘ihau” were a Hawaiian musical group. They originated on the leeward (Kona or westerly) side of O‘ahu. After the deaths of the Kamakawiwoole brothers, the remaining members dropped the "of Niihau" and now are known as the Makaha Sons, consisting of Louis “Moon” Kauakahi on 6-string guitar, John Koko on upright acoustic bass and Jerome Koko on 12-string guitar.

In 1976, the Mākaha Sons of Ni‘ihau began their professional career with five members, as an opening act in a small nightclub known as “Uptown Yokos.” The group has reorganized several times, with members seeking other professional careers, and the deaths of the Kamakawiwoole brothers.

The Mākaha Sons of Niihau and the Makaha Sons have released 21 CDs, and produced a DVD on their own record label. They have won Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards and Hawaii Music Awards. They produce their own signature concert, “Take a Walk in the Country,” in Hawai‘i each year. They produce and promote young artists in traditional Hawaiian music. They formed the “Mākaha Sons Foundation”. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
