Here's one by Kate Wolf.

RIDING IN THE COUNTRY
(Kate Wolf)

Going riding in the country in a Model A ford
Past the cows and the chickens, through the fields of corn
Out across the flat lands and the rolling hills
Feel the summer sun shining, hear the motor purr.

CHORUS:
And I'm just sitting on the front seat with two friends of mine
Going to the country sure makes me feel fine.

Working in the country, cleaning up yards
With a model A truck you know it can't be hard
Folks smile and pass up, walking down the road
Going to the county dump with another load.

CHORUS

Hayfields are cut, harvest has begun
Riding through the orchards in the morning sun
Good times in the country, can't you smell the air
Apples and apricots and plums to spare.

Chorus

Down gentle roads with no white line
Like a pathway to another time
Old houses passing, frontyards of flowers
I could ride in the country for hours and hours.

Chorus

I have two comments. #1. I've had almost the same experience, including the part about the county dump, and felt the same way. #2. I thought I'd never know lyrics that weren't in DT.
