I'm Gonna Be a Country Boy Again
The rain is falling lightly on the buildings and the cars
I said goodbye to city friends, department stores, and bars
The lights of town are at my back
My heart is full of stars
And I'm gonna be a country boy again
Yes, I'm gonna be a country boy again
With an old, brown dog, and a big front porch
And rabbits in the pen; I tell you
All the lights in the city don't amount to an acre of green
And I'm gonna be a country boy again
I've spent some time in study and I've taken my degrees
I've memorized my formulæ
My A's, and B's, and C's
But what I know came long ago
And not from such as these
So I'm gonna be a country boy again
I've wondered in the hearts of man
Looking for a sign
In which I might learn happiness
I might know peace of mind
The only one that taught me was the southland through the pines
So I'm gonna be a country boy again
Oh, yes, I'm gonna be a country boy again
With an old, brown dog, and a big front porch
And rabbits in the pen; I tell you
All the lights in the city don't amount to an acre of green
So I'm gonna be a country boy again
I said goodbye to city friends, department stores, and bars
The lights of town are at my back
My heart is full of stars
And I'm gonna be a country boy again
Yes, I'm gonna be a country boy again
With an old, brown dog, and a big front porch
And rabbits in the pen; I tell you
All the lights in the city don't amount to an acre of green
And I'm gonna be a country boy again
I've spent some time in study and I've taken my degrees
I've memorized my formulæ
My A's, and B's, and C's
But what I know came long ago
And not from such as these
So I'm gonna be a country boy again
I've wondered in the hearts of man
Looking for a sign
In which I might learn happiness
I might know peace of mind
The only one that taught me was the southland through the pines
So I'm gonna be a country boy again
Oh, yes, I'm gonna be a country boy again
With an old, brown dog, and a big front porch
And rabbits in the pen; I tell you
All the lights in the city don't amount to an acre of green
So I'm gonna be a country boy again
