Big Ole Country Hugs
Big Ole Country Hugs
Mary Jo
Far outside the city
in the country swattin bugs.
Such a simple price to pay
for big ole country hugs.
Runnin by the river bed
and skippin over streams.
I'm dreamin that I'm dreamin
while I watch you chase your dreams.
Barefoot in the knee high grass
your dreams all catch your eyes.
Laughing when you reach for them
they turn into butterflies.
Some of them you hold on to
while others you let go.
Sayin give your friends all country hugs
and say they're from Mary Jo.
Somewhere in the distance
I hear a lonesome whistle blow.
Pleased with me for how I see
this woman I don't know.
My vision slowly starts to fade
like that distant engines chugs.
I'm leaving now but I'll be back
for more big ole country hugs.
