Moving Up Country - James Yorkston, The Athletes

We’re moving up country, where lady sings «Crazy»

And soaks up the looks from the boys at the bar

«This one’s for the non-believers», she roars

Was she ever in tune with a patience like yours?

But enough of this foolish, come off down of your stool

As I just laugh at the tales that I hear about you

I let things go for my sentimental heart

Would be skipping a beat if I believed but a half

But look who’s getting involved

But look who’s getting involved

But look who’s getting involved

Careful girl, you’ll give it all away

Careful girl, you’ll give it all away

And the wind and the rain in their wisdom arrive

Like foolish old friends we forgive them the slight

They offer excuses to offer you warmth

Who knows if this could be the start of it all?

Because we’re just moving up country, roaring the gospel

Cleaning the sugar is not too far away

It’s Jesus in the morning and there’s colour in your cheeks

I’ve never been prouder, than how you look today

But look who’s getting involved

But look who’s getting involved

Yeah, look who’s getting involved

Careful girl, you’ll give it all away

Careful girl, you’ll give it all away

Careful girl, you’ll give it all away

Careful girl, you’ll give it all away
