In the country

In the country I was a no show girl
   With hair wild upon my head
I'd run and play and make mud pies
               Until I went to bed
    There were chickens and cows
                Goats and pigs
             Animals all around
And somehow, everything we did
    Was connected with the ground
       We'd root around in the garden
             And go fishin' in the pond
We'd pick wildberries on the path
       And have all kinds of fun
  We'd walk along the dusty roads
          Wade in the small creek
     And eat the red clay dirt
In the country, we always knew
    A little dirt could never hurt
