The Big Country (Alternate Version)

I see the shapes, I remember from maps

I see the shoreline, I see the whitecaps

A baseball diamond, nice weather down there

I see the school and the houses where the kids are

Places to park by the factories and buildings

Restaurants and bar for later in the eveningThen we come to the farmlands, and the undeveloped areas

And I have learned, how these things work together

I see the parkway that passes through them all

And I have learned how to look at these things and I sayI wouldn't live there if you paid me

I wouldn't live like that, no Siree

I wouldn't do the things the way those people do

I wouldn't live there if you paid me toI guess it's healthy, I guess the air is clean

I guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends

Look at that kitchen and all of that food

Look at them eat it, I guess it tastes real goodThey grow it in those farmlands

Then they bring it to the stores

They put it in the car trunk

And they bring it back home and I sayI wouldn't live there if you paid me

I wouldn't live like that, no Siree

I wouldn't do the things the way those people do

I wouldn't live there if you paid me toI'm tired of looking out the windows of the airplane

I am tired of traveling, I want to be somewhere

It's not even worth talking

About those people down there
