Song Review from Musicians Together Magazine:
As the lovely rich, flowing guitar line leads you into this song, it is indeed like opening a gate and wandering up a country lane! “Life is quiet in the country, sorrow fades away”, i believe every word. With some beautifully delicate piano layering the melody, this is a must-listen at the end of a hard day, wind down music at it’s best! Close your eyes- yep, it’s Richard Thompson and Bob Dylan all rolled into one!
Buy this now, you need this track in your life. Murray McDowell.

lyrics

Living in the country

The horses they're ridin'
And the horsemen make them sweat
Dustclouds outside my window
It's a sight I'll never forget

chorus;
Life is quiet in the country
Sorrow fades away
But it won't last forever
I know that I can't stay

Going to sleep real early
Rising with the morning sun
Tryin' to forget the city
And the things that went wrong

There's a rooster that wakes me up early
And the birds they start to sing
And as the fog is lifting
There's another day to begin

There's wood to make a fire
You know it's gettin' colder this time of year
And when that chilly wind is blowing
Make sure that you're near
