A Country Boy Lyrics

Mama she raised me real good

We didn't have money, that was understood

We lived in the country, down on the farm

There it was safe, away from danger and harm

I went to Sunday School in the big town

A town filled with busy people and strange sounds

Everyone rushing, like they got somewhere to go

In the end we'll arrive at the same place, you know

Glad I left that hustle and bustle behind

Coz it just confused and tangled up my mind

Take it easy, take it slow

Sit down and watch the river flow

Sitting here watching the great Mississippi flow by

In Nashville, the Cumberland flows under the blue sky

Don't be jealous of what others have got

With their big mansions, planes and yachts

Buying friends that really aren't real

With stone hearts that don't know how to feel

Yeah, I'm a country boy through and through

No place I'd rather be than here with you

Singing about the joys of simple country life

Staying far away from the city's stresses and strife

City folk rushing like they got somewhere to go

In the end we'll arrive at the same place you know

Take it easy and take it slow

Sit right down and watch the river flow

Watch the great Mississippi flow by

Watch the Cumberland flow under the blue sky

As the birds sing as they fly high

In the country I belong oh me oh my

Oh me oh my, oh me oh my
