Bye Bye Country Boy

Bye-Bye country boy

You've been a joy, a shiny toy

Glad we played your County Fair

I'm glad you came to see me there

I sang that song, looked right at you

You came backstage like I knew you'd do

It's a doggone shame our week is through

Bye-Bye country boy, sweet shy country boy

Bye-Bye country boy

Your Sunday clothes, you brought a rose

I love the hot-rod moonlight spins

Those sleepy roomy country inns

Your voice sends my world aways

Those sunny laughing picnic days

You've been a joy, a shiny toy

Bye-Bye country boy, sweet shy country boy

Bye-Bye country boy

It's time to go, it's closing show

You still think that I'm a star

Just shows how hazy dumb you are

If you'd just say "Hey, stick around"

I'd tell my Band I ain't leavin' town

But you don't dream I'd settle down

Do you country boy, sweet shy country boy

Bye-Bye country boy

I got to pack, I can't look back

Don't come 'round and say goodbye

You mustn't see a big star cry

But once I'm home in old L.A

My heart and mind will be miles away

Still wishing you had made me stay

Bye-Bye country boy, sweet shy country boy

You've been a joy, a shiny toy

I got to pack, I can't look back
