paroles de chanson Out of the City (Into Country Life) - Allen Toussaint

Southern nights
Have you ever felt a southern night?
Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so

Southern nights
Just as good even when closed your eyes
I apologize to anyone who can truly say
That he has found a better way

Southern skies
Have you ever noticed southern skies?
It′s precious beauty lies just beyond the eye
It goes running through your soul
Like the stories told of old
Old man
He and his dog that walked the old land
Ev'ry flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
Weeping willows
Would cry for joy
Joy

Feel so good
Feel so good
It′s frigth'ning
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La da da da da da la da da da da da da da da

Mysteries
Like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the night
In the southern skies

Southern nights
They feel so good it's fright′ning .
Wish I could stop this world from fighting
La da da da da da la da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
I don′t wanna run no more (No more)
I don't wanna run no more (No more)
I don′t wanna run no more
I don't wanna run no more (No more)

Out of the city into country life
Where the grass is green on every side
Let the country breeze smack me in my face
′Cause that's the only peaceful place, yeah

I don′t wanna run no more (I don't wanna run)
I don't wanna run no more (I don′t wanna run)
I don′t wanna run
I don't wanna run no more

Out of the city sniffin′ country breeze
Play my upright piano just as long as I please
Pipes of sunshine peepin' through the clouds
Away from the hustle and the fumblin′ crowds
Out of the city into country life
Where the grass is greener on every side, oh yeah

I don't wanna run no more (No more)
I don′t wanna run no more (I don't wanna run)
I don't wanna run no more
