Vs.1 

 Thirty -nine years and the race is still running, yet I’m still standing here in place. Looking for a day, when it finally arrives, so I can follow my dreams with grace. Packed up all I own, headed out to the fields, where the silence can be so loud.

 My house in the country , kids by my side , and a life that’ll make mama proud.

Chorus:

 

I’m running to the Ozarks , to better , better days. Country life , quiet , changing in my ways. Got time to sit and laugh ,  time to dream and time to pray. Time to listen to the southern winds and say. I’m running to the Ozarks , to better , better days.

 

Vs. 2

There’s no fear you see , knowing God is leading me. To the land where the wildlife is free. Yeah the clean mountain air , rushing all through out my hair and the cottonwood trees. The mountains and the skies they’re always reaching high. Almost always like they’re reaching for me. And sitting on my porch at the end of every day , where the sunsets are always ,  always free.

 

Chorus:

I’m running to the Ozarks , to better , better days. Country life , quiet , changing in my ways. Got time to sit and laugh ,  time to dream and time to pray. Time to listen to the southern winds and say. I’m running to the Ozarks , to better , better days.

 

 

Bridge:

Oh the friends down there , always  let you know they care. Always warm with their hearts and souls. Yeah I’m running to the Ozarks , till I grow old.

Bridge: Musical

 

Chorus & Outro:

I’m running to the Ozarks , to better , better days. Country life , quiet , changing in my ways. Got time to sit and laugh ,  time to dream and time to pray. Time to listen to the southern winds and say. I’m running to the Ozarks , to better , better days. I’m running to the Ozarks , to better ,better days . I’m running to the Ozarks , to better , better days…
