Country Girl
Never get too big, never get too heavy
Never get too cool, you stop paying your dues, oh yeah
What can a poor boy do?
Better go back to your mama
Oh, she'll take care of you
Lost your wife, lost your son
Stay out drinking 'til the morning comes, oh yeah
What can a poor boy do?
You better go back to your mama
Oh, she'll take care of you
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak
I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Crazy woman, mess your head
Wake up drunk and bleeding in some strange bed, oh yeah
What can a poor boy do?
You better go back to your mama
Oh, she'll take care of you
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak
I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on keeping strong
Gotta keep on keeping on
When you got the right
You got the right city blues, woo
The thing I have to say before I go
Be careful with your seed
You will reap just what you sow, oh yeah
What can a poor boy do?
You better go back to your mama
Oh, she'll take care of you, oh
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak
I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on, hey
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak
I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Never get too cool, you stop paying your dues, oh yeah
What can a poor boy do?
Better go back to your mama
Oh, she'll take care of you
Lost your wife, lost your son
Stay out drinking 'til the morning comes, oh yeah
What can a poor boy do?
You better go back to your mama
Oh, she'll take care of you
Country girl, take my hand
Lead me through this diseased land
I am tired, I am weak
I am worn
I have stole, I have sinned
Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Crazy woman, mess your head
Wake up drunk and bleeding in some strange bed, oh yeah
What can a poor boy do?
You better go back to your mama
Oh, she'll take care of you

Oh, my soul is unclean
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
Country girl, got to keep on keeping on
