The Country Boy - Darrell Scott

Did you ever have a nickel

And wish you had a dime?

Did you ever try to search your soul

But could not find your mind?

Did you ever lay your body down

With someone that don t love you?

The country boy has been there

That s what makes him sing the blues

It s not the drinks you bought him

It s not the tips you gave

From the rocking of his cradle

To the covering of his grave

You ll never know the loneliness and sorrow he goes through

The country boy has been there

That s what makes him sing the blues

When he sings about a love gone wrong

There s no tears in his eyes

But the lonely knows he s crying out

All the hurt he feels inside

He s singing to their broken hearts

That s all that s left to do

The country boy has been there

That s what makes him sing the blues

It s not the drinks you bought him

It s not the tips you gave

From the rocking of his cradle

To the covering of his grave

You ll never know the loneliness and sorrow he goes through

The country boy has been there

That s what makes him sing the blues
