Almost Country Lyrics

It's almost country

Once upon a time I was city folk

Once upon a time I could tell a mean hick joke

But now I find myself

After such a long spell

Living here

And living well

In almost country

In almost country

In almost country enough

It's been a strange time

In the history of our world

But then again I guess

Every time is strange

In its own way

But yeah, it's been a really strange time

Filled with anxiety

And worry

And death

In this almost country

In this almost country

In this almost not quite country enough

There's been so much division

And contention

And resolution

And people trying to figure things out

People doing the right thing

For the wrong reasons

And people doing the wrong thing

For the right reasons

And every season has its challenges

Its seems

But I suspect that it's always been this way

In the whole history of humanity

At least we didn't blow ourselves up

With the nuclear warheads

Although I suppose we still

Could if we tried

But I'd be lying if I said

I have no hope

Instead

I believe

In a future

In this almost country

In this almost country

In this almost country

But not quite country enough
