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 cornfield, 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 drownin' it out

Like the big cities do

And 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

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 singin' the blues (Country boy singin' the blues)
