Lyrics

I ain't nothin' but a country boy Driftin' from town to town I ain't nothin' but a country boy Driftin' from town to town Got no place, ooh yeah To call my home Sometime in travellin' I travel when nights are blue Sometime my night My night so dark and blue But I keep on travellin' No place to lay my worried head I'm just a country boy Driftin' from town to town Hmm Driftin' from town to town I ain't got no place To lay my worried head, baby Sometime, I lay down on the highway I try to take my rest I hear a freight train howlin' I drown my head and run I'm just a country boy Driftin' from town to town, have mercy Now one night, I was travellin' I saw a light in the winter I was so cold at night And my clothes were soakin' wet I walked on to the door I knocked on the door A little girl come to the door She said, "Mister, what do you want" I said, "It's cold outside, baby" She looked at me and said "Come on in, I wanna talk to you" I got a brother who left home He was 12 years old Just like the prodigal son Mm-mm I know you'd find him Mm-mm
