The city streets are friendless and cold

I walk them mile after mile

I'm a country boy a-singin' 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 goin' back home

And I'll be happy awhile

But I know at dawn, I wake with the blues

The blues, country style



I'm a country boy a-singin' the blues

The blues, country style
