Jim Soule

I was a lonely boy

Out there searching

Couldn't find much joy

Too old to fake it

Too young to hide it away

I played the master thief

Stealing the lives of the people I'd meet

Faking away each day so gracelessly

But there's a price that must be paid

You can't hide out every day

Somebody comes along

And blows your cover all away

Oh I lay down in a meadow in the sky

And I held my breath as I fell into your eyes

I love your hair smells sweet like pure Rocky Mountain air

Like the big sky shining on a Winnipeg night

Dust in the air and the Northern Lights

All in your country wide soul

I love your country wide soul

That's the only speed I've ever seen you go

You take good care of me as the days go by

Is that the mail train I see

Well I hope it's not carrying any news for me

I just can't see myself on the company line

There's another season gone and lord I'm feeling strong

Got to find a way to keep this dream dreaming on

Oh I lay down in a meadow in the sky

And I held my breath as I fell into your eyes

I love your face well it takes me to so many beautiful places

Driving through the night under Prairie stars

Listening to a band in a St. Johns bar

Down by the water on a Halifax shore

Listening to the wind and the ocean roar

Freight train rolling through the Great Divide

The magic in the mushrooms of PEI

All in your country wide soul
