Bagful Of Boogie

(album: One More River To Cross - 1973)

I got a bagful of boogie, pocketful of rhythm and blues
I got a bagful of boogie, pocketful of rhythm and blues
Been walking 'round in this old town so long I got holes in both of my shoes

Just a country boy from the state of Illinois
I trying to find my way
Just a redneck hick with a guitar and a pick
Want to try my luck in Hollywood L.A

Living in the city looking at the movie stars
While they're driving down Sunset Strip in big old shiny cars
I'm standing on the corner
Thinking 'bout the folks I left behind

Got a bagful of boogie, a pocketful of rhythm and blues
I got a bagful of boogie, a pocketful of rhythm and blues
Been walking 'round in this old town so long I got holes in both of my shoes

Woo-ha

Just a good old boy with my bagful of joy
And not one red cent to my name
So I keep on living just a-taking and a-giving
You know, Henry says it's really all the same

But I keep on trying to play these blues I've been crying
Won't give up 'til I have won the game
I'm out on the street with my little old boogie beat
To ease the pain

Got a bagful of boogie, pocketful of rhythm and blues
Got a bagful of boogie, pocketful of rhythm and blues
Been walking 'round in this old town so long I got holes in both of my shoes
Been walking 'round in this old town so long I got holes in both of my shoes
I been walking 'round in this old town so long I got holes in both of my shoes
