Ain`t No Place For A Country Boy Lyrics

I pack my clothes in a cardboard box and mama packed my lunch

I walk down to the highway and caught a trailways bus

I woke up in the city stepped down on the curb

To the strangest lookin' people and sounds I've never heard



It ain't no place for a country boy, it ain't no place to be

It might be fine for a city boy but it ain't no place for me



I keep my nineteen dollars, stuck way down in my shoe

It cost me seven fifty for a dirty sleepin' room

My window faced the alley and the city smells were strong

I couldn't sleep for horns and sirens blowin' all night long



It ain't no place for a country boy, it ain't no place to be

It might be fine for a city boy but it ain't no place for me



I didn't even bother to unpack the clothes that I brought

Some man paid me ten dollars for grandpa's pocket watch

I got off the trailways bus, the same place I got on

My head is full of memories, walkin' down the road to home



It ain't no place for a country boy, it ain't no place to be

It might be fine for a city boy but it ain't no place for me



It ain't no place for a country boy, it ain't no place to be

It might be fine for a city boy but it ain't no place for me
