I hate the city it brings me down |
|
I? m a country boy |
|
I? m new to town |
|
But I never really thought it was gonna be like that |
|
Spent all my money, |
|
I? m busted flat |
|
So I? m eating my dinners at the |
|
Sally AnnMet a fellow named |
|
Charlie there, a fellow named |
|
StanAnd they laugh at my clothes and the way that |
|
I talkEight a.m. comes and |
|
I hit the streets and walk |
|
And the bus stops, the doughnut shops |
|
It? s raining out today like it? s never gonna stop |
|
And I got the blues |
|
I got nothing left to lose |
|
There? s a hole in my shoe and my foot? s getting wet |
|
And Nick at the arcade made me a bet |
|
That by Saturday noon when my money? s all gone |
|
I? ll be heading out of town like another sad, hard luck song |
|
And all the faces on the streets got a look of fear |
|
I can? t go home but |
|
I hate it here |
|
Oh why? d |
|
I ever go and leave the farm anyway? |
|
Thought the city my help me take my blues away |
|
But the cars go by |
|
Tonight I? ll stay dry |
|
Sleeping underneath an awning and trying not to cry |
|
I got the blues |
|
I got nothing left to lose |
|
My pappy used to have a little problem drinking scotch |
|
He did a lot of stupid things |
|
We used to hate to watch |
|
But he? s cleaned up his act as a matter of fact |
|
Although there? s something there we lost |
|
We? re never going back |
|
And I got the blues |
|
I got nothing left to lose |
|
And the concrete beneath my feet |
|
Has got inside my soul and it? s sucking out the heat |
