A: This is the Indie (Independent Original) Bobby Rivers. ALBUM ANALYSIS: "THE COUNTRYSIDE" is an original blend of Country and Pop music. It is electronic, yet has a warm analog feel as a digital recording, which is unique. Some of the material reminds me of the Urban Cowboy Sountrack, like "You're The Reason" and "More Than Ever Tonight". This album is more Suburban than Urban however. 01 THE COUNTRYSIDE (1985) THERE'S AN OLD MAN AND HE'S WATCHING CARS GO BY NO BETTER WAY TO SPEND HIS DAY OR PASS HIS TIME HE'S WATCHING DAYS BECOME YEARS AND KEEPS GROWING OLD WITH EVERY SHIFTING GEAR BUT IF I COULD HAVE MY FIRST CHOICE I'D BE SITTING THERE NEXT TO HIM OH IF I COULD HAVE MY FIRST CHOICE I'D BE LIVING IN, BE LIVING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE LIVING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE HE WAVES AT PASSER-BYS NO BETTER WAY TO MAKE HIME FEEL LIKE HE'S ALIVE HE SMILES AT ALL HIS FRIENDS SEES THEM PASSING BY BUT NEVER STOPPING IN -CHORUS- AS SOON AS I GET HOME I'M GONNA PACK UP, PACK UP MY THINGS CUZ NOW'S THE RIGHT TIME TO GO BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE FOR THE CHANGE -CHORUS- I'M GONNA PACK UP MY THINGS AND TAKE A LITTLE RIDE MOVE OUT IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THE FLOWERS GROW WILD AND THE DEER RUN FREE -CHORUS- 02 ONE MORE TIME (1985) POUR ME ANOTHER DRINK CUZ I NEED TO GET REAL HIGH YA SEE MY BABY LEFT ME AND NEVER EVEN SAID GOODBYE SO HEY THERE JOE PLAY ME THAT SONG JUST ONE MORE TIME COULD YA PLAY IT JUST ONE MORE TIME?
