Colin Linden Country squall Baby if I'd have been a gambler it might have turned out a different way But lately everywhere I go I have to use the highway and if I'd been born sometime else this could be a different day But like the rise and fall of a country squall I'm getting ready to fade away Sometimes I feel like I should be in a different place With somebody else's mind and somebody else's face 'cause lately I've been feeling low with nothing to do and no place to go and like the rise and fall of a country squall I'm getting ready to fade away Leaning on a birch tree Staring up at a winter sky Listening to the blackbirds sing There's no tears left to cry and no reason that I can think of Why you should end the race And like the rise and fall of a country squall I'm getting ready to fade away
