Rusty Wier sings good bye...


Another of my favorites, but never thought of it this way...

Country Style
By Rusty Wier

1) The time has come for partin’
Our happy days are gone.
The things we learned together
Are gonna help us both along.
A lonely road of findin’
What fulfills our souls.
It’s a long, long road that’s windin’
You know it takes its toll.
For love’s not just receivin’
It’s a givin’ in return.
I found what I was lookin’ for
Now wait here, wait here till ya learn…

2) We talked it out, we both can see,
That neither was fulfilled.
Our love jus’ wasn’t strong enough.
It didn’t fit the bill. So you wander
down your own road honey.
I’ll try to wander mine.
If our roads should cross again,
It’ll be at a better time.
For love’s not just receivin’
It’s a givin’ in return.
I found what I was lookin’ for,
Now wait here, Wait here till you …

Chorus: Learn how to smile
When it’s hard for a while,
When you learn how to cry,
when you’re happy.
Honey when I’m far away,
How to be together day to day.
How ya gotta love me child,
In that good ole’ familiar country style.

Honey, honey when I’m far away,
How to be together day to day,
How ya gotta love me child,
In that good ole’ familiar country style.

In that good ole’ familiar country style.
Familiar country style.
Familiar country style.

First time I heard this album I was 14, that would be in 1971! My Brother-in law pushed in an 8 track tape and said "shut up and listen to this" 'hee hee' I had the fortunate opportunatey to meet Rusty in 1977 and have been very good friends with him and his family since. But even before that and had that not happened... his music had filled my soul and transformed my life in a way like no other. He truly was (is) a one of a kind individual, artist, entertainer, person, friend, human being. We (I) will miss you so very much Rusty!
