Country Boy |
I ain’t nothin' but a country boy |
Driftin' from town to town |
I ain’t nothin' but a country boy |
Driftin' from town to town |
Got no place, ooh yeah |
To call my home |
Sometime in travellin' |
I travel when nights are blue |
Sometime my night |
My night so dark and blue |
But I keep on travellin' |
No place to lay my worried head |
I’m just a country boy |
Driftin' from town to town |
Driftin' from town to town |
I ain’t got no place |
To lay my worried head, baby |
Sometime I lay down on the highway |
I cry to take my rest |
I hear a freight train howlin' |
I drown my head and run |
I’m just a country boy |
Driftin' from town to town, have mercy |
Now one night I was travellin' |
I saw a light in the winter |
I was so cold at night |
And my clothes were soakin' wet |
I walked on to the door |
I knocked on the door |
A little girl come to the door |
She said, «Mister, what do you want» |
I said, «It's cold outside, baby» |
She looked at me and said |
«Come on in, I wanna talk to you» |
I got a brother who left home |
He was twelve years old |
Just like the prodigal son |
I know you’d find him |
