Willie Nelson - Country Willie lyrics

rate me

You called me Country Willie, the night you walked away<br />

With the one who promised you a life of joy<br />

You thought my life too simple and yours was much too gay<br />

To spend it living with a country boy<br />

<br />

I'm writing you this letter, I write you every day<br />

I hope that you've received the ones before<br />

But I've heard not one word from you and every day I pray<br />

That you will not forget your country boy<br />

<br />

While you're living in the city with riches 'round your door<br />

Is this your love, is this your kind of joy<br />

Or do you find there's something missing, does your heart cry out for more<br />

And do you sometimes miss your country boy<br />

<br />

A cottage in the country with roses 'round the door<br />

Could not compete with flashing city lights<br />

But it's all I have to offer except for one thing more<br />

A heart so filled with love that it could die<br />

<br />

Well it's time to end this letter, the light of dawn is near<br />

A lonely night has passed but there'll be more<br />

Just one more thing in closing for all the world to hear<br />

Come home, I love you signed your country boy<br /><br />
