The Country Boy lyrics

Did you ever have a nickel And wish you had a dime? Did you ever try to search your soul But could not find your mind? Did you ever lay your body down With someone that don't love you? The country boy has been there That's what makes him sing the blues It's not the drinks you bought him It's not the tips you gave From the rocking of his cradle To the covering of his grave You'll never know the loneliness and sorrow he goes through The country boy has been there That's what makes him sing the blues When he sings about a love gone wrong There's no tears in his eyes But the lonely knows he's crying out All the hurt he feels inside He 's singing to their broken hearts That's all that's left to do The country boy has been there That's what makes him sing the blues It's not the drinks you bought him It's not the tips you gave From the rocking of his cradle To the covering of his grave You'll never know the loneliness and sorrow he goes through The country boy has been there That's what makes him sing the blues
