The city streets are friendless and cold I walk them mile after mile
I'm a country boy a singing the blues the blues country style
Nobody stops to tell me hello not even one friendly smile
I'm a country boy alone with the blues the blues country style
One hundred tears make one city block two thousand tears make a mile
I'm a country boy with miles of blues the blues country style
Tonight in dreams I'm going back home and I'll be happy a while
But I know at dawn I'll wake with the blues the blues country style
I'm a country boy a singing the blues the blues country style
