Old Country

Wish you could have stuck around this year
Spring came sooner than we thought
If you'd seen all those leaves turn green
You might not have felt so lost

Old country, why did you let him leave?
Old country, why did you let him leave?

Working longer in the fields these days
With nothing to hold on to
Except a mama laying flat in a daze
Praying and pleading for you

Old country, why did you let him leave?
Old country, why did you let him leave?

Old country, old country, why did you let him leave?
