You called me Country Willie the night you walked away
|
With the one who promised you a life of joy
|
You thought my life too simple and your was much too gay
|
To spend it living with a country boy
|
I'm writing you this letter I write you every day
|
I hope that you've received the ones before
|
But I've heard not one word from you and every day I pray
|
That you will not forget your country boy
|
While you're living in the city with riches round your door
|
Is this your love is this your kind of joy
|
Or do you find there's something missing does your heart cry out for more
|
And do you sometimes miss your country boy
|
[ steel ]
|
A cottage in the country with roses round the door
|
Could not compete with flashing city lights
|
But it's all I have to offer except for one thing more
|
A heart so filled with love that it could die
|
Well it's time to end this letter the light of dawn is near
|
A lonely night has passed but there'll be more
|
Just one more thing in closing for all the world to hear
|
Come home I love you signed your country boy
|
