Script for the recording:

The song you are about to hear is all about taking a break from city life, escaping from the

crowds,

rinding a quiet place, far from trie human race.

For those of us who live in cities, getting out in the country can provide a welcome break, letting

us recharge our batteries. Out in the country, as the song says, we can find a place tostand alone

and take tack somethin' worth remembering.

The countryside also promises escape from the pollution of the city, somewhere to get some

decent air to breathe. The countryside also offers somewhere where the sun is not hidden by

smog, making it seem no more than

a bright spot in the nighttime.

So, just remember, as the song advises, whenever you

need a bit or room to move When life becomes too fast

66 - Appendix I you can always

find relief at last

Out in the country.

Here is the song:

Out in the Country

Paul Williams/Roger Nichols

Whenever I need to leave it all heh ind Or feel the need to get away I find a quiet place, far from

the human race Out in the country

Before the hreathin' air is gone

Before the sun is just a hright spot in the nighttime

Out where the rivers like to run

I stand alone and take hack somethin' worth rememherin'

Whenever I feel them closing in on me

Or need a hit of room to move

When life hecomes too fast, I find relief at last

Out in the country

Before the hreathin' air is gone

Before the sun is just a hright spot in the nighttime

Out where the rivers like to run

I stand alone and take hack somethin' worth rememherin'

Before the hreathin' air is gone

Before the sun is just a hright spot in the nighttime

Out where the rivers like to run I stand alone and take hack somethin' worth rememherin'

Before the hreathin' air is gone

Before the sun is just a hright spot in the nighttime

Out where the rivers lite to run

Appendix I - 69 -
