Pickin' Up The Pieces

Lyrics: Richie Furay
Music: Richie Furay

Robert Hunter sang a fragment of this Poco song on 14 October 1978.

Well, just a little bit of magic
In the country music we're singin', let's begin
We're taking you back to the country, where the folks are happy
Sittin' pickin' and a-grinnin', casually, you and me
We'll pick up the pieces

Country music yesterday still has a place in your heart today
Think it over, I'll be going home before too long

Chorus
Well, there's just a little bit of magic
In the country music we're singin', so let's begin
We're bringin' you back down home where the folks are happy
Sittin' pickin' and grinnin', casually, you and me
We'll pick up the pieces

Somebody yelled out at me, country music and company
Kind of makes it in a Sunday afternoon
Picnic lunches of yesterday should still have a place in your heart today
Think it over 'cause we'll all be goin' home so soon

[chorus]

If you had the time to stay would you sit yourself down and play
Country music, singin' songs that we both knew
Lord, I know that the day will come
When the both of us'll sit down and strum on our guitars
And you'll see I really have a lot like you

[chorus]
