Hollies - Sweet Country Calling INTRO: Going down to take a ride on the Rock Island Line I’m gonna meet an old friend of mine It’s gonna be a fine ride if only I can hide From the man who guards the freighting line I’ve got two thousand miles to go where I want to be Lady Luck stay with me I wanna be there I gotta be there CHORUS: Oh sweet country calling calling me it’s way Come and bathe in cool clear water wash the city dirt away Oh sweet country calling I’ve got something to say When I get back to you I won’t let you down This time I’m gonna stay BRIDGE: I wanna hear hear the bluegrass I wanna breathe in the mountain air I gotta take in all that moonshine But most of all I wanna see a friend of mine INSTRUMENTAL: The last time I saw her she was waving me goodbye Heading on down the line She said "Come on along" I decided to stay Now I know I was wrong That’s why I’m playing with fate riding this freight Lady Luck please stay with me I wanna be there I gotta be there CHORUS: Oh sweet country calling calling me it’s way Come and bathe in cool clear water wash the city dirt away Oh sweet country calling I’ve got something to say When I get back to you I won’t let you down This time I’m gonna stay CHORUS: (## fade to end ##) Oh sweet country calling calling me it’s way Come and bathe in cool clear water wash the city dirt away Oh sweet country calling I’ve got something to say When I get back to you I won’t let you down This time I’m gonna stay
