I'm Just A Country Boy

(album: Play - 1999)

I sit for hours up above the town
Me and my old blue tick hound on a summer night
Got you on my mind
From time to time he tries to cheer me up
But so far he ain't had much luck nothing he can do
Got these doggone blues

Moonlight shinin down on the river
I remember swimmin together
Down on main there's a picture show
All those nights on the very last row

I'm just a country boy
This is how a country boy misses you
Thinkin bout the better days
Turnin back the memories
That's all I do
I spend my days where we used to go
Shootin tin cans off that old fence post
I'm just a country boy
And this is how a country boy misses you

This morning we drove by your house
I couldn't help but stop and get out saw your mama smile
Said, how ya doin child?
How bout somthin ice cold to drink
No I ain't heard from her all week, but I'll tell her hi
Tell her you stopped by

Fine ma'am I'll be on my way
Drove the back roads the rest of the day
It dead ended in a field of corn
I hung my head and laid on the horn

I'm just a country boy
This is how a country boy misses you
Thinkin bout the better days
Turnin back the memories
That's all I do
I spend my days where we used to go
Shootin tin cans off that old fence post
I'm just a country boy
And this is how a country boy misses you

I guess these small town dreams will never come true
That big city's got a hold on you

Spend my days where we used to go
Shootin tin cans off an old fence post
I'm just a country boy
And this is how a country boy misses you
Misses you
