Waitin' In the Country Lyrics

Five o' clock smokestacks 15th, check's fat
Hacked off, backed up
Hurry up and wait on the interstate
Irate, tailgate tight
Yeah, nothin' but brake lights
High rise concrete, painted up city street
Fed up, red tape, add another lane
Make it more insane, more strain
Starbucksed up
Man, I know where I'm pointin' my truck

[Chorus]
Out in the country, where the world turns green
There's a pretty girl waitin' on a front porch swing
The lazy river is a-windin' around
With a cane pole bobber goin' down (goin' down)
Time is sweeter than a buttermilk pie
And the people of the steeple and the steeple don't lie
I swear, somewhere, out there's everything I need
Waitin' in the country for me, for me

Big city hip hop, rattilin' when I stop
Parkin' lot jumpin', cars thumpin'
Hard mixin' those rhymes
And keepin' it right in time, that's cool
But I guess I'm just old a-school


Juke box, hony tonk
Mom and pops resturant
Willie, Waylon, Merle yeah
Singin' them a country song
Bring it on, son
Yeah, I know where to get me some

Out in the country, where the world turns green
There's a pretty girl waitin' on a front porch swing
Lazy river is a-windin' around
With a cane pole bobber goin' down (goin' down)
Time is sweeter than a buttermilk pie
And the people of the steeple and the steeple don't lie
I swear, somewhere, out there's everything I need
Waitin' in the country for me,
Waitin' for me

Out in the country, where the world turns green
There's a pretty girl waitin' on the front porch swing
A lazy river is a-windin' 'round
With a cane pole bobber goin' down (goin' down)
Time is sweeter than a buttermilk pie
And the people of the steeple and the steeple don't lie
I swear, somewhere, out there's everything I need
Waitin' in the country for me, for me
Waitin' in the country for me

Jason Michael Carroll has walked the walk. Growing up the son of a preacher, his father helped many families through rough times, and Jason bore witness to real-life tragedies that will take the kid right out of a child. Add to that his dulcet voice and a true romance over which bodice-ripper novel writers would salivate, and you've got yourself the makings of a fine country singer/songwriter.

In late 2006 Carroll signed with Arista Nashville and released his first single "Alyssa Lies". His debut album was released February 6, 2007.

Carroll said in an interview with Songfacts that he looks at songwriting as an almost religious experience. The ideas are out there, he believes, and it's up to the individual to grab them and write them. "And you can either force the idea, almost screw it up if you really force it too much, or you can try to receive it the way it's intended to be," he explained. "And so my songwriting experience is, usually when I'm writing by myself, I just kind of let the idea come. And if it's a roadblock or whatever I may try to hammer through it for a minute, but then if I don't get anything I'll just leave it alone and come back to it a couple of weeks later."
