COUNTRY SUNSHINE
Dottie West, Billy Davis & Dianne Whiles    1973

Dottie West


You say you love me
And it's invitin'
To go where life is more excitin'
But I was raised on country sunshine.

I was raised on country sunshine
Green grass beneath my feet.
Runnin' through fields of daisies
Wadin' through the creek.

You love me and it's invitin'
To go where life is more excitin'
But I was raised on country sunshine.

I was raised on country sunshine.
I'm happy with the simple things ---
A Saturday night dance
A picture show
And the joy that the bluebirds bring.

I love you . . . please believe me.
I wouldn't want you to ever leave me,
But I was raised on country sunshine.

There's just somethin' 'bout the mornin'
That makes each day a joy to see
And nighttime brings a peaceful feelin'
To rest inside of me.

I love you . . . please believe me.
I wouldn't want you to ever leave me
But I was raised on country sunshine.

If you love me . . . and it's invitin'
To go where life is more excitin'
But I was raised on country sunshine.

(fade)
Hm, hm . . . I was raised on country sunshine.
Oh, oh . . . I was raised on country sunshine.
Hm, hm . . . I was raised . . .
