Country Boy

I’m just a country boy
I’ve got sand all in my shoes i met a
Met a big city woman got the
Got the big city blues
I got the
Got the big city blues
I don’t want your sympathy
and i don’t want your pity
Oh let me be
Let me be
Oh let me be
Let me be
A country boy
Big city women
No you don’t know my mind
You can’t love me with a feeling
You can’t, can’t satisfy my mind.
No, can’t satisfy my mind
I don’t want your sympathy.
I don’t want your pity
Oh let me be
Let me be
Oh let me be

A country boy
Oh look going back home there she goes
Back down to Memphis, Tennessee
I’ve got a woman who thinks the world of me
And now, love me all the time
And now, gonna love me all the time
I don’t want your sympathy
And i don’t want your pity
Oh let me be
Let me be
Oh let me be
Let me be
A country boy
A country boy
I’m just a country boy
Got sand all in my shoes i met a
Met a big city woman got the
Got the big city blues
I got the
Got the big city blues
I don’t want your sympathy
And i don’t want your pity
Oh let me be
Let me be
Oh let me be
Let me be
A country boy
