|
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 |
