Country Dreams

Harry Chapin

[Intro] [Verse 1] This phone’s growin’ in to my ear I made three hundred calls today Though yours is the only voice that I want to hear I gotta make me a living some way I know you hate me doing this You say I’m selling out But how in the hell is a man supposed to live Selling what it’s all about [Chorus] Hello sir. I’m the Pocono Land Development Company And I’m calling you with an offer of some land that you’ll just have to see A quarter acre plot that’s what I’ve got for you Nineteen ninety five four hundred dollars down and just ten bucks a week It’s two short hours from New York City A Pocono land site green and pretty There’s lakes there and trout streams Mountain views country dreams country dreams [Verse 2] We dreamed our dreams in college girl Back then we thought we should And we promised that we would save the world Way back then we thought we could I know you love your teaching now But I wish you’d understand There aren’t that many jobs around I’m doing the best I can [Chorus] Hello sir. I’m the Pocono Land Development Company And I’m calling you with an offer of some land that you’ll just have to see A quarter acre plot that’s what I’ve got for you Nineteen ninety five four hundred dollars down and just ten bucks a week It’s two short hours from New York City A Pocono land site green and pretty There’s lakes there and trout streams Mountain views country dreams country dreams [Bridge] I’m here with forty other guys crowded in a room Makin’ a living selling the moon and rustic dreams in June I used to hate the city now I’m dwelling in it I used to love the country now I’m selling it I’m doing well at it that’s the hell of it [Verse 3] I said that we would find a farm And live out on the land It strange how dreams come back at us In ways that we had never planned Here I’m selling real estate And laughin’ at myself If I can’t have my country dream I’m gonna sell it out to somebody else [Chorus] Hello sir. I’m the Pocono Land Development Company And I’m calling you with an offer of some land that you’ll just have to see A quarter acre plot that’s what I’ve got for you Nineteen ninety five four hundred dollars down and just ten bucks a week It’s two short hours from New York City A Pocono land site green and pretty There’s lakes there and trout streams Mountain views country dreams country dreams [Outro] Darlin’ don’t get mad at me I’m doing this for you It’s really not so sad to see We had growin’ up to do country dreams Aw please don’t push me any more It’s gonna work out fine I know I said I’d quit before But just give me a little more time country dreams Country Dreams.

La chanson évoque les défis du quotidien, surtout ceux d'un homme qui jongle entre sa vie professionnelle et ses rêves d'évasion. Il travaille dans la vente de terrains, un boulot qui semble en décalage avec ses aspirations. Il se rappelle de ses rêves d’une vie rurale et de liberté, partagés avec sa compagne durant leurs années universitaires, mais la réalité le pousse à vendre ces mêmes rêves à d'autres. Malgré ses efforts, il ressent une tension entre ses désirs et ses responsabilités, naviguant dans un monde où il doit sacrifier ses idéaux. C’est un reflet poignant de la lutte entre le rêve d’une vie idylle et la nécessité d’une réalité souvent contraignante.
