Country Child

I’m a down from a country boy, misunderstood

Always heard old folks say

That boy ain't gonna be no good

I had own ways of trying to understand

Trying to make it in this messed up world

I'm doing the best I can

Can't stand to drive by a cotton field

It still hurts my back

Every time I look at a cotton field

I think about pulling that sack

Move to the city, country raised

Livin' in the heart of the city ya'll

But I still got my country way

Gonna catch me a greyhound

And go back home

Tried too many city girls

They all keep doin' me wrong

Gonna find me a country girl that lives my lifestyle

Me and her are gonna settle down and raise us a country child

It's hard to make a sudden change

Walking from the country to the city

Everything seems so strange

In the country, girls look at you

Give you a country smile

But these city girls look at me and they just walk on by

I don't understand it, hard as I try

And I ain't broke

I got fifteen dollars and it's all in ones

Got a pocket full of money

I wanna spend it on you honey

Come on baby

Take you down here and get you one of these hotdogs

Hold the mustard on mine

I'm just a country boy

Louisiana raised

I'm just a country boy

Living in a country place
