Country Boy Singin’ The Blues Lyrics
Sky ain’t been rainin’, and the crops ain’t been growin’
It’s a small town shame, all up and down main
Mom & 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, and it’s got this country boy singin’ the blues
Well I’m miles from Memphis but I feel like I’m walking on Beale
And them Delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels
Drivin’ around in 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
Grandaddy 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 walking 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 walking 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 (singin’ the blues)
It’s got this country boy, country boy singin’ the blues
