Country Boy Singin’ The Blues
Sky ain't been rainin' and the crops ain't been growin'
It's a small town shame, all up and down Main
Moms and pops are closin' down
Out went the cornfields along with the farms
They put in a concrete place to park cars, like the big cities do
It's got this country boy singin' the blues
Well, I'm miles from Memphis, but I feel like I'm walkin' on Beale
And them delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels
Drivin' around this town is draggin' me down
This ain't the place that I knew
And it's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues
Granddaddy told me everything changes
You wake up one day, all the gravel gets paved
And the old drive-in gets drove out
I still hear the train, it just ain't as loud
I guess all this hurry's been drowning it out, like the big cities do
And it's got this country boy singing the blues
Well, I'm miles from Memphis, but I feel like I'm walkin' on Beale
And them delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels
Drivin' around this town is draggin' me down
This ain't the place that I knew
And it's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues
Maybe I'll take a dirt road
Turn on some "Blue Suede Shoes"
The King on my radio
Might help me change my tune
Well, I'm miles from Memphis, but I feel like I'm walkin' on Beale
And them delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels
Drivin' around this town is draggin' me down
This ain't the place that I knew
And it's got this country boy (country boy), country boy singin' the blues
It's got this country boy
Country boy singing the blues
It's a small town shame, all up and down Main
Moms and pops are closin' down
Out went the cornfields along with the farms
They put in a concrete place to park cars, like the big cities do
It's got this country boy singin' the blues
Well, I'm miles from Memphis, but I feel like I'm walkin' on Beale
And them delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels
Drivin' around this town is draggin' me down
This ain't the place that I knew
And it's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues
Granddaddy told me everything changes
You wake up one day, all the gravel gets paved
And the old drive-in gets drove out
I still hear the train, it just ain't as loud
I guess all this hurry's been drowning it out, like the big cities do
And it's got this country boy singing the blues
Well, I'm miles from Memphis, but I feel like I'm walkin' on Beale
And them delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels
Drivin' around this town is draggin' me down
This ain't the place that I knew
And it's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues
Maybe I'll take a dirt road
Turn on some "Blue Suede Shoes"
The King on my radio
Might help me change my tune
Well, I'm miles from Memphis, but I feel like I'm walkin' on Beale
And them delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels
Drivin' around this town is draggin' me down
This ain't the place that I knew
And it's got this country boy (country boy), country boy singin' the blues
It's got this country boy
Country boy singing the blues
