I ain't nothin' but a country boy Driftin' from town to town I ain't nothin' but a country boy Driftin' from town to town Got no place, ooh yeah To call my home
Sometime in travellin' I travel when nights are blue Sometime my night My night so dark and blue But I keep on travellin' No place to lay my worried head
I'm just a country boy Driftin' from town to town Driftin' from town to town I ain't got no place To lay my worried head, baby
Sometime I lay down on the highway I cry to take my rest I hear a freight train howlin' I drown my head and run I'm just a country boy Driftin' from town to town, have mercy
Now one night I was travellin' I saw a light in the winter I was so cold at night And my clothes were soakin' wet I walked on to the door I knocked on the door
A little girl come to the door She said, 'Mister, what do you want' I said, 'It's cold outside, baby' She looked at me and said 'Come on in, I wanna talk to you'
I got a brother who left home He was twelve years old Just like the prodigal son I know you'd find him
