The beer here tastes like water
The bar, it ain't smoke free
I'm playin' my last honky tonk
In Nowhere, Tennessee.
It's only 11:30 and
I can't wait to leave
How can I sing when I can’t even breathe...

Soon I’ll taste
That country air…
(Just what I’m needin’)
Gonna feel the wind
Blowin’ my hair
(Keep me believin’)
Leave the light on,
I’ll be right there.
Tonight we're gonna share
Some country air.

To get me through I think of you
And sing 'bout summer days
When breezes touch the millet fields
And move the grain in waves.
But when the music's over
And my wages have been paid
I'll save you one more late night serenade.

(Repeat Chorus)

I'll race the dawn to get to you
On dusty two lane roads
Out where there's no streetlight glare
We'll watch the stars explode.
Warm up that old porch swing
My God… it's been too long
When I get to you, I'm finally home.

Soon I’ll taste
That country air…
(Just what I’m needin’)
Gonna feel the wind
Blowin’ my hair
(Keep me believing)
Leave the light on,
I’ll be right there.
From here on out
We’ll share some country air…
Tonight we're gonna share
Some country air.
