Description
It's the smallest county in the state of Missouri (go ahead, look it up) but it's where you'll find some of the biggest hearts you'll ever encounter. I wrote this one to honor the folks that call "The WoCo" home (as I once did and, in some small way, always will), but also to celebrate the simple joys of home...joys you might not realize as such until you're away from them.

Worth Countin’ On (The Worth County Song) © 2009 Jason Craig All Rights Reserved A yellow light is flashin over highway 169 For most folks headed through it’s just a slowdown but for me it’s a finish line A hundred shows in 16 weeks and every day the same routine Gotta get on back to where this life can’t get the best of me I’m coming home to my own, to the place where I was from Back where my friends and family don’t care who I’ve become The neon lights, the endless nights, for a while they’ll all be gone Cause back in Worth County… I got somethin’ worth countin’ on As I step into the kitchen there’s my mama and she breaks into a grin She wraps her arms around me says Good Lord boy you’re way too thin There’s ham and beans and cornbread on the table for you there Bobby called he’ll pick you up at six and drive you to the fair I’m coming home to my own, to the place where I was from Back where my friends and family don’t care who I’ve become The neon lights, the endless nights, for a while they’ll all be gone Cause back in Worth County… I got somethin’ worth countin’ on So I walk out and Dad’s already waiting down by the barn Says I hope my big bad rock star ain’t forgotten how to work down on the farm Reckon I heard thunder rollin down off Oakley’s hill Hitch the tractor to the wagon we can get that hay in still I’m coming home to my own, to the place where I was from Back where my friends and family don’t care who I’ve become The neon lights, the endless nights, for a while they’ll all be gone Cause back in Worth County… I got somethin’ worth countin’ on Got somethin worth countin on got somethin worth countin on
