Lord Have Mercy On A Country Boy |
Well, I grew up wild and free |
Walking these fields in my barefeet |
There wasn’t no place I couldn’t go |
With a .22 rifle and a fishin' pole |
Well, I live in the city but don’t fit in |
You know it’s a pity the shape I’m in |
Well, I got no home and I got no choice |
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy |
When I was young I remember well |
I’d hunt the wild turkey and bobwhite quail |
The river was clear and deep back then |
Had fishin' lines tied to the willow limb |
Well, I live in the city but don’t fit in |
You know it’s a pity the shape I’m in |
Well, I got no home and I got no choice |
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy |
Well, they damned the river, they damned the stream |
They cut down the Cyprus and the Sweetgum trees |
There’s a laundromat and a barbershop |
And now the whole meadow is a parking lot |
Well, I live in the city but don’t fit in |
You know it’s a pity the shape I’m in |
Well, I got no home and I got no choice |
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy |
Well, I live in the city but don’t fit in |
You know it’s a pity the shape I’m in |
Well, I got no home and I got no choice |
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy |
