Boy from the Country - Live at the Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, CA - August/September 1974

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the An Evening With John Denver album as a live track, and has also been released on the Some Days Are Diamonds album as a studio version.
 Because he called the forest brother
 Because he called the earth his mother
 They drove him out into the rain
 Some people even said the boy from the country was insane
 Because he spoke with fish in the creek
 He tried to tell us that the animals could speak
 Who knows, perhaps they do
 How do you know they don't
 Just because they've never spoken to you
 Boy from the country, he left his home when he was young
 Boy from the country, he loves the sun
 He tried to tell us that we should love the land
 We turned our heads and laughed
 And we did not understand
 Sometimes I think that the boy from the country
 Is the only one who sees
 Because the boy from the country
 Doesn't want to see the forest for the trees
 Boy from the country, he left his home when he was young
 Boy from the country, he loves the sun
