about

Just a happy-go-lucky celebration of the romantic weekend getaway. Neither sensitive or deep!

lyrics

Words & music A. McKnight, ©1990 Waves of Mountains/Catalooch Music, BMI

Verse 1
Headed for the mountains and the cool country air, riding on the wind just like a song,
a lover and a friend beside me in simple harmony, travelling through the forests tall and strong,
the city brings me pressures, that I must escape,
my feet get cold and lonely, every time I wake
I could bring you roses on a winter's afternoon,
and you could sit beside me and brighten up the room,
what else would a man want to do,
on a weekend in the country with you,

Verse 2
Lying by the firelight, and basking in the glow, Mother Nature warming to our songs,
Just give me an old guitar and your splendid company, we'll make sweet loving music all night long,
two hundred miles of highway, can't bring me fast enough,
to the peaceful northlands, when the times get rough,
and I might be a fool with more to say than I should,
but with your arms around me I'm feeling awful good,
what else would a man want to do,
on a weekend in the country with you,

Instrumental Release

Verse 3
Underneath the moonlight my heart is beating strong,
someone out there somewhere must have known it all along,
what else would a man want to do,
on a weekend in the country with you.
