Willie Nelson - Country Willie lyrics
rate meYou 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 />
