lyrics

Halfway from my hometown
There's a valley
For you and I
Cold water streams
Stretch in every direction
Weathered by time
Tucked in between rocky cliffs
There's an ancient
River and sky
The radio's playing that "Wide Open Spaces"
As we drive
And I'll remember

Bluff country paradise
Move me gently
Like a needle in the groove
Ol' Root River
Whisper softly
Sing that old familiar tune
'Cause I wanna end up in this paradise
With you

Lately I'm dreamin' of leaving this city
All behind
I wanna lay myself in the cornfields
Come July
I can't seem to shake this gut feeling radiating
Deep inside
Get out take some time and find my body
'Cause I'm still alive
And I'm gonna go to

Bluff country paradise
Move me gently
Like a needle in the groove
Ol' Root River
Whisper softly
Sing that old familiar tune
'Cause I'm gonna end up in this paradise
With you

I always come back to this place
Drift-less, I'll finally escape
'Cause I don't wanna settle down
And work myself into
An early grave
I'd rather run away
Take me home

Bluff country paradise
Move me gently
Like a needle in the groove
Ol' Root River
Whisper softly
Sing that old familiar tune
'Cause I'm gonna end up in this paradise
With you
